Dear Colleagues
The Bailey Bridge Initiative (BBI) of the Socio-Ecological Stewardship
Programme (SESP) under the Director’s Office, Tata Institute of Social
Sciences (TISS) has been designed to holistically integrate the
scientific and technological tools and techniques along with Social
Science interventions to create a ‘bridge of possibilities’ for students
and practitioners for learning and application in their own field
interventions to notice patterns, solve problems and shift systems and
culture.
*CDSA-BBI**Workshop*
A workshop, for 2 weeks from 9 - 22 October, 2015 to be conducted on
*/‘Agency praxis and critical cartography for field interventions’/*
based on */cutting edge leadership praxis/* integrated along with
advanced */mapping tools and techniques /*for interventions in societies
and communities. The workshop will be conducted at TISS, Mumbai in
association with and supported by the Centre for Disability Studies and
Action (CDSA), School of Social Work, and the Socio-Ecological
Stewardship Programme, Director’s Office. This workshop in October, 2015
is the third of the series of workshops under the Bailey Bridge
Initiative of the Socio-Ecological Stewardship Programme of TISS.
*Purpose:* The purpose of the Bailey Bridge Initiative, including the
CDSA-BBI October workshop, is to foster agency among interested
individuals and the communities they are engaging with. In this workshop
of October 2015 the participants will be trained and equipped with the
modern and relevant science and technological tools and techniques for
informed decision making and social interventions.
*Objectives of the CDSA-BBI workshop*
At the end of the summer school, the participants will be able to:
(a) foster agency of oneself and the communities they are engaged with
for informed decision making, action and results in solving problems and
shifting systems.
(b) demystify science and technological concepts, tools and techniques
of mapping for access and utilisation of resources; and to further learn
how to share and scale concepts, tools and techniques in society and
communities;
(c) learn and apply the mapping tools and techniques for interventions
in the field;
(d) design for solving problems, shifting systems and culture using the
Spectral Framework for Agency Building (SFAB)
(e) integrate mapping tools and techniques with Participatory Learning
in Action (PLA) processes, in order to approach field-level issues
holistically;
(f) stimulate spatio-visual and pattern thinking abilities for
themselves and the communities they work with;
(g) design strategies and interventions along with community members
while also building upon their knowledge systems;
(h) support communities to build and own the archives of information and
knowledge for continuity and action;
/You are invited to participate in this innovative initiative. The
feedback from the participants in the earlier workshops is extremely
encouraging. They felt the agency praxis integrated with mapping tools
and techniques are going to significantly enhance themselves and their
work in the field./
