Welcome to my public diary. This is my playground where I ask a question and answer it to myself, as an audio, as a sketch, as a sentence or a short poem. What a weird hobby I have!
After a long pause, I’m reconnecting with communities, online and face-to-face. Seeing people. Weaving those connections and networks, again. And here, the magic of
When it comes to conflict and problem solving, my natural response is to go all in or run away. Over years, I learned to
When I lived in Ireland, I used to facilitate design workshops for communities solving local problems around Sustainable Development Goals (17 SDGs). What a
Fashion is alive; it’s not a thing. Fashion is a performance art happening on the street. I cannot explain what got me so happy
I wonder, what glues people together. Why some collaborations work, while others do not? I guess the same things as in any relationships apply.
It’s funny. I love exploring so much. Talking when walking, thoughts always jumping! So much excitement that I forget to pause. Until – boom!
It was 27 kids. Not even mine. 27 kids who gave me one of the best lessons in my life. When I was in
Leaving the house is the hardest. Just imagine a destination – nearest tree. Go there. And now, where?
“Kaip jautiesi?” anksti rytą suklusau. – “Normaliai”, sau sakau. “Ačiū,” – prabudau.
Keksas vis tempia. Ei! Ranką išlauši. Drausminu. Nu kur jis lekia?
Na ką, laikas! Greit greit, ranka pasiklydo kišenėj ieškodama raktų, o Keksas tik šmukšt pro duris! Nagi nagi, aš gi skubu! Šiaip ne taip sugunčiau vynuogių šakele ir štai jau bėgu per balas į autą. Laukiu. Kaip nėr taip nėr. Bet man dešimtą reik būt mieste! Bolt. Ir štai aš pakeliui. Spėjau. Be dviejų dešimt. Nu nu. Tai kur tas renginys? Pala, kokia šiandien diena? Nu nu. 29! Lapkričio. Bet ne 1! Gruodžio. Nu ne. Ne. Ta. Diena.
Laukiu auto.
Ženklai visada ten, kur jų reikia.
We all are living (learning) systems and metabolism (being active, communication) is a process of life.
If in the body metabolism means a conversion of food into energy, in society/community, metabolism could mean a conversion of thoughts into ideas, solutions and projects.
For any community the same things could be true:
– Links/Relationships between members within a network
– Metabolism/Flow of thoughts, resources, ideas
In closed communities, at the start when people dont know each other well, Facilitators need to setup more activities, playgrounds and invite people. When people bond through frequent activities, Facilitators could celebrate a self-organised community.
Well in theory 😂
Patirtys turi sujaukti galvas, atsirakina pasąmonė. Mokymasis vyksta nesąmoningai.
“Fasilitatorius turi pasiimti savo galią: tikslo aiškumas, kodėl mes čia” ir jo siekimas per veiklas, greitas pamatymas, kada reikia keisti eigą ir į kurią pusę. O taip pat refleksija su dalyviais, bet ir su savimi.

Kas vyksta, kai mokausi? Bandau pagauti jūros putas vėjy. Vis išsprūsta. Ištirpsta. Vėjas ištaško. Lieka jausmas. Tarsi apčiuopiau kažką. Bet ne. Tik sprogusių burbulų vaivorykštė delne. Bandysiu dar. Tikiuos, pagausiu esmę.
Galvojau, kad dialogas sukuria ryšį. Bet kartais buvimas ar veikimas kartu yra pirmiau nei dialogas.
Galvoju. O kas svarbiausia ruošiantis bendra-kūrybai su nepažįstamaisiais? Susipažinimas. Bendrumų pamatymas. [Veikla!] Atsiranda smalsumas vieni kitiems.
Seka bendravimas. Dialogas. Nesutarimas. Sutarimas. Ping pong. [Veikla!] O vėliau ir pasitikėjimas atsiranda. Lankstumas.
Keliavimas kartu. [Veikla!] Bendros vizijos modeliavimas.
Stotelių džiaugsmas. Arba poilsis sustojus kartu. [Veikla!] Kartais ir atsitraukimas. [Veikla!] Grįžimas į būrį kelionei tęsti. [Veikla!]
Galvoju. Kas yra mokymasis? Kelionė. Ir sumišimas, ir pasimetimas, ir atradimas. O ar būna kelionės trumpos? Fragmentiškos? Nagi, su gidais! Patirtis kaip dovana.
First time I heard about personal learning networks (PLNs) was in 2012. I worked with educators who saw interactions on social media as a professional development journey. Back then, I wondered – how could a social network developed for a learning purpose look like?
Personal Learning Network to me means learning while browsing the Internet, a lifelong learning journey, that is curiosity-driven which leads to project-based learning. Add feedback loops from diverse connections to the mix and here’s a continuous informal peer-to-peer learning process that is about self-realisation and collaboration. Oh, and skills! Critical thinking and creativity (diverse topics lead to creative thought) are developed through interactions as we go too.
Now, I’m learning about systems thinking at Capra course, so zooming in on links within a network. As I’m involved in many diverse networks, I wonder:
How to map my personal learning network? That is, share insights from parts and see the whole?
Min energy. Max grace.

Universe of shapes inside
I am an acrobat on Earth

A melody of life I am
