Cross Cultural Learning, Community Collaboration and Technology

What is the role of culture within our learning pedagogies? Are local communities open to collaborate with their learning providers? What is the role of technology in encouraging conversations of culture, community and collaboration within and outside learning structures? I am interested to organise a workshop to discuss the role of technology to encourage discussions within areas of cross-cultural learning and school-community collaboration. The workshop will aim to engage in a dialogue on topics relating to 'culture' in its widest sense and debate on the challenges that threaten the sustainability of projects relating to cross cultural learning and community collaboration. Although my experience regarding the aforementioned topics is based within the formal education system, I think the topic will find importance and relevance within diverse eco-systems where people and technology are involved. The workshop is suitable to those that are curious, to those that are interested and most certainly to those that have a research interest/experience in the above mentioned topics.
