Things you may have brought with you:

✽ONE SUGGESTION – what you’d like to see developed as a Musical Inclusion resource

Musical Inclusion Evaluation & Networking

The power of networks

“As knowledge becomes networked, the smartest person in the room isn’t the person standing at the front lecturing us, and isn’t [even] the

collective wisdom of those in the room.

The smartest person in the room is the room itself: the network that joins the people and ideas in the room, and connects to those outside

of it.

Our task is to learn how to build smart rooms — that is, how to build networks that make us smarter.”

[AND STRONGER]David Weinberger internet specialist, (Clue Train Manifesto)
