I have started to put content on a site called 'Constellation Learning'. The hope is that it will contain material for people who facilitate the Community Life Competence process. I have added a section called 'Learning tools' to this site. It contains a description and discussion on the Constellation Learning tools. It is taken from the updated version of Blended Learning. The tools discussed are AAR, learn-and-share, story telling, peer assist, knowledge asset and knowledge fair.I am happy to…See More
Phil commented on MariJo's blog post The contentment of appreciation"It always feels a little strange. When 'I' appreciate 'you', it sounds as if something is going from me to you. What you describe is a flow from 'you' to 'me'. And I think that is a good description of what is…"

- About Me:
- I am a father of 3 sons. I live in a small village in the north of England and I work for the Constellation from there. I seem to keep asking questions and I seem to keep getting interesting answers....and so I keep on asking more questions.
- My dream:
- My dream is that the way we work in the Constellation becomes so obvious to everybody that we disappear.
- My concern:
- My concern is that those who prosper today by solving our problems for us have no reason to see the world in that way....
- I'm proud of:
- of the work that I try to do in the Constellation
- What I think of Community Life Competence:
- It is another way....
- What do I want to do to spread Community Life Competence?
- I want to apply SALT in my own life (S: Stimulate; Support; A: Appreciate; L: Listen; Learn; Link; T: Transfer; Team), I want to share my experience on my blog in Ning
- The small secretariat of the Constellation also needs help. Do you want to help? I want to:
