-the desire that fellows have to go deeper in their knowledge sharing and simplifying the breakout group designs (less questions) to create more space for that learning.]]> 2021-03-24 03:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346170531 MaryStelletello https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346180880 -What aspects of the FGF are providing the greatest support in Fellows' daily life and work as social change makers?]]> 2021-03-24 03:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346180880 sedwards220 https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346283485 The level that Fellows described their trusting relationships, a sense of family and Fellowship culture... I heard this come out. 

Their desire to go deeper in their learning together, to co-create something, and take action on an issue. 

Desire for skill-building, tools and practices, external resources/speakers.]]> 2021-03-24 04:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346283485 sedwards220 https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346286734 Fellows began to allude to skill-building interests, co-creating together, topics that they would like to focus on... I would want to learn more based on this shared so far. ]]> 2021-03-24 04:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1346286734 https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1347339501 I'm particularly happy to see that the fellows attribute their collective identity and solidarity emerging from the relationships they have built and the ability to be vulnerable and open with each other.  A hypothesis I hold is that trust-building leads to stronger community which fosters a desire to collaborate together and that successful collaboration is a result of trust.  So I'm excited to see this emerging.

After Muzna shared her "ah ha" moment when she realized she doesn't have a clear vision for the future, I continue to wonder if others have experienced any realizations or breakthroughs in their thinking based on these engagements with the fellowship and with each other.]]> 2021-03-24 11:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1347359685 https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1347375307 I can't think of anything missing right now but I want to thank you for pulling all of this together. I know how much data there has been and what has gone into the sense-making of it all. Thank you. ]]> 2021-03-24 11:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1347375307 https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1348226129 - Is the Fellowship supporting their work to challenge and change inequality and if so how? How does the community building make that possible? Can we confirm/challenge Cheryl's well articulated hypothesis in Col 1?
- Really appreciated the regional differences section and am pondering what else we might learn across regions, topics, etc.
- How are they using their grant funds that are untethered?
- Is it our best and highest use to focus on "collaboration" - would like to interrogate whether this is the best/highest use of time/attention right now?

- We are co-creating a culture of "belonging" that we believe will allow us to challenging the inherent non-belonging created in systems that perpetuate inequality - inequality = non-belonging

- Fellows' capacity to balance both seriousness of the work and joy is a critical capacity that was a result of a positive selection bias - the Fellowship didn't create this, but it seems to be a necessary prerequisite to engage in this work

- We have significant knowledge management to create/curate - I am observing that we are learning how to document and elevate the collective knowledge of the community AND that we can learn from others how to do this better

Second question that might be a fruitful conversation - what are we explicitly "not doing" in terms of practices/behaviors? (i.e., not proceeding with conclusions about data without shared sensemaking conversations with Fellows as co-owners of the learning)

One thing I would add to this document as an addendum documenting this prototype process. For FGF, this was a new process and we should document the steps that were taken by FGF Partner team to gather the data, then create sense making sessions and the key decision points (i.e. we decided to construct sense making sessions as part of program experience in January during our planning retreats - other than my direction, what led to that decision? why did we do it?)]]> 2021-03-24 14:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1348281974 https://padlet.com/IREXCALI/upeas97a2fduz23t/wish/1348609390 Agree with Samera–interested in skills, which in particular.  Also woudl love some insight into the questions fellows are holding.
