Ukrainian wine exporter Tanya Kagitina had no idea the turn her life would take on Feb. 24, 2022. In this podcast, we explore how Tanya and her sister pivoted their lives to support the country's struggle for freedom. She's joined by Pierce Press author, Oleg Veretskiy, who likewise gave up his real estate and writing career to volunteer and fundraise for non-lethal aid to the  Ukrainian military.

Tanya is one of “The Odesa Sisters” who with her sister Antonina, runs an impressive sewing operation in Odesa, Ukraine, constructing high quality winter uniforms, sleeping bags, medical uniforms, adaptive underwear for injured soldiers, and other essential clothing items. Tatyana also serves as an interpreter for Ukrainian author & volunteer Oleg Veretskiy and assists in his projects supporting frontline Ukrainian military units.

In this episode, we discuss discussing collaborative learning projects with education innovators and Peeragogy members Steve Yost and Karl Hakkarainen, who share their experiences in collaborative learning in the hopes of catalyzing new conversations and new collaborations. "Whether learning for work or for personal interest, we need ways to entangle our ideas with others who are on the same journey. Learning is rarely a solitary experience. We need to share what we’ve learned in order to make it complete," says Karl.

Is it time to rethink how we acquire knowledge at the various stages of life? Join us to discuss “Opening Education” on the Peeragogy In Action livestream/podcast Tues., January 25 at 2pm UTC-5. Any comments or questions you post on the simulcast channels, we will be able to present to our panelists.

As David Preston writes, “Open-source education invites us to create meaningful learning experiences with students instead of for them. We all begin our lives insatiably curious about the world around us, so what can we do to reawaken that sense of delight in wondering? For years I have begun the conversation with students by reimagining the power of the question and asking them to consider one of their own.”

Why do we avoid challenging or difficult conversations? What are the patterns and best practices we can draw on for positive outcomes? What do you intend to accomplish by bringing up a sensitive topic or engaging in a difficult conversation?

In this episode of Peeragogy In Action, our panel will discuss how to first identify a goal when you come into such a conversation, then determine if your counterpart comes with an entrenched position. This can help to dispel anxiety about the impending interaction and promote the best outcome.

Host Joe Corneli teases out patterns & best practices for productive interactions, with guests Judith Benham of Open Global Mind, and Richard Butler, DEI co-chair at US Rowing and Wellness Coordinator for the City of Pittsburgh.

 How can an organization or enterprise build community and foster #collaboration to fulfill its mission?

In our first Peeragogy Accelerator of 2021, we take you on a virtual tour of the community media station in Arlington, Massachusetts, where the art of collaboration has generated quality programs for public, educational, and government public access channels for more than 15 years.

We’ll see how the patterns of Peeragogy emerge naturally from the collaborations among volunteer producers, paid staff, and community leaders. We’ll find out how stakeholders in the studio solve challenges as they identify, nurture, and mentor volunteer producers, crew members, and interns.
