Please think about applying or pass this on to others who might. If you are involved in adult literacy… If you are a survivor of violence think about what tiny things can boost your spirit, make it seem possible to learn, remind you that you are alive and change is always possible….. Or talk to students who are survivors of violence and dream and imagine together….. find some tiny thing that might have significance to support learning in your program….. Don’t forget to tell us about the connection between violence and the creative idea you have, why do you think this intervention would matter in the face of violence, why will it support learning for women who have been through violence...? Please encourage practitioners who don’t read this list to apply – I know it’s only a small pot of money – but we are hoping to see something new and exciting and undreamt of happening even if it can only be tiny……. This fund was created in Elizabeth Morrish’s memory – she was co-author of Take on the Challenge: A Source Book from the Women, violence, and Adult Education Project (you can find an order form or download it at http://www.worlded.org/publications.html ) and director of the project that led to the manual. Before this project Elizabeth had spent much time working in adult education, on women and health, and with Cambodian refugees. She was an exceptional facilitator, a fine potter, revelled in social connection and the creation of beauty. She was committed to creating educational settings filled with creativity and beauty, which support learning for survivors of all forms of violence.
