This is a fab video in the TED series of "ideas worth spreading". It's about the cheetahs (fast movers) and the hippos (sluggish, corrupt leaders) in Africa. Brilliant!

This blog
- My name is Bev Trayner and I live in Setúbal, Portugal. The focus of my research and practice is designing for learning in distributed communities. I am particularly interested in connecting people in international communities. Key words are: communities of practice, learning, meaning-making, inclusion, multiliteracies, Portugal, and Web2.0 technologies. Keeping a blog helps me navigate my way through different practices and world views. Phronesis includes pondering on the specifics and the universal. It follows on from my previous blog "Em duas línguas".
More about my publications, presentations etc.

A série é interessante e a conferência em Arusha tb. Julgo que todos conhecemos, nem que seja da TV, alguns hipopótamos, mas poucos conhecemos chitas (deve confessar que conheço muito hipos e algumas chitas em potência).
Essa conferência, e a divulgação de alguns vídeos, permite imaginar uma África sem ajuda externa e com ideias e criadores próprios (num mundo globalizado claro).
Já agora a Conferência em África este ano é na África do Sul.
