*Pahoittelen ristiinpostitusta ja aikaisemman viestin toisen ilmoittautumislinkin toimimattomuutta!*
Jos olet kiinnostunut kansalaisyhteiskunnasta, kansalaisuudesta tai oppimisesta, tai erityisesti Tansaniasta tai Ugandasta, tervetuloa keskustelemaan GROW-tutkimushankkeen tuloksista. Miten ja millaista kansalaisuutta opitaan arkipäivän kansalaistoiminnassa? Miten tätä voitaisiin tukea? Entä miten tapoja voi käsitteellistää? Hankkeen tansanialaiset ja ugandalaiset tutkijat kertovat mielellään myös yleisemmin maiden kansalaisyhteiskunnasta.
Tervetuloa! Muistathan ilmoittautua. Register here!https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/317A05A7C3B0BA04
If you are interested in civil society, citizenship and learning, or especially in Tanzania or Uganda, you are warmly welcome to discuss the results of GROW-research project. What kind of citizenship is learned in everyday organizing and how? How this learning could be supported? How habits of citizenship could be conceptualized? The project researchers from Uganda and Tanzania will be happy to share the recent developments of civil society in their countries also in more general!
