Being in the education sector, let's use the power of education for our community and also have activities that bring people together, not that your activities are non-inclusive. Do you think we are just having a band aid approach to these issues? And not developing the long term relationships with students? Or is it still early days?]]> 2023-10-13 03:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/u1016712/hvko8dy4n95omwa3/wish/2744612467 Loud vs quiet voices https://padlet.com/u1016712/hvko8dy4n95omwa3/wish/2744613068 We all know there is a growing diversity in student cohorts.  One challenge to allowing everyone to have their say is that some students or student groups are excessively vocal in giving their opinions. 
How can a balance be struck in allowing all students to speak, but also limiting those who might try to dominate or even monopolise the various fourms?

If there is no money, true actions tend to be replaces with rhetoric and lip service only. What has to give?

How can this be monitored, communicated, and even enforced?
