Knowledge, Learning, Community

What I like about this post is that while it discusses something we're all facing - how to begin anew after the pandemic - it is focused on a particular community, in this case, the city of Pittsburgh in the United States. There are details specific to Remake Learning, which will be irrelevant unless you're in that network, but the message and the examples are useful to all. There's a number of useful links to local initiatives that developed over the year, and as the author says, "our task will be to sustain that community, building a future that's more loving and more just than the yesterdays that came before." Just as every city's response to the pandemic was different, so also will be every city's recovery. "It will require listening to ourselves and to our neighbors. And it will require unlearning old methods, old assumptions, and old systems."
