Hi all: you may have noticed that I have posted a couple of entries in relation to the group of disadvantaged Clemente students completing the unit “Sacred Australia” through Mission Australia. These students, when they complete four Clemente units have completed a Certificate that allows them to enter university and complete a full degree. Many of these students have had very difficult lives but clearly have acquired a real wisdom and a deep insight. When they complete units in literature, the discussions we have in class are quite extraordinary in the range and depth of ideas that are produced. All these students are also being encouraged to develop a WordPress Literature unit in order to give them the freedom to express their own experience creatively. It would be very helpful if you -as fully fledged university students- could visit and support some of these students in their blogs. You will find them all in the WordPress StudentBlogs: “Group: Sacred Australia”. Some have not yet posted their first blog, others have and are worth reading and commenting on. As a group, comments from students on campus can really give them a sense of inclusion in a wider community.
Best wishes
Michael
