This chapter concludes the book Narratives of Hope in Times of Change. Networked Learning for Futures of Possibility. We start by summarizing the book’s chapters, emphasizing their contributions to a pedagogy of hope in Networked Learning. We then identify a set of themes that emerge across the chapters’ engagement with this issue, namely: Care for others and the broader world; Teachers’ and learners’ creativity in times of change; Connections, communities and localities; Decolonisation inclusive of mutuality and reciprocity; and Dialogic potential of networked learning in crossing borders. In our discussion of these themes, we reflect on how they prompt us to navigate the present better to further the hopeful futures that we aspire to. We end the chapter by explicating the features which actions towards desired futures characteristically display: Caring responsiveness towards others and the world; creativity in teaching and learning; decolonised respect for differing positionalities; and a dialogic stance.

摘要

This chapter concludes the book Narratives of Hope in Times of Change. Networked Learning for Futures of Possibility. We start by summarizing the book’s chapters, emphasizing their contributions to a pedagogy of hope in Networked Learning. We then identify a set of themes that emerge across the chapters’ engagement with this issue, namely: Care for others and the broader world; Teachers’ and learners’ creativity in times of change; Connections, communities and localities; Decolonisation inclusive of mutuality and reciprocity; and Dialogic potential of networked learning in crossing borders. In our discussion of these themes, we reflect on how they prompt us to navigate the present better to further the hopeful futures that we aspire to. We end the chapter by explicating the features which actions towards desired futures characteristically display: Caring responsiveness towards others and the world; creativity in teaching and learning; decolonised respect for differing positionalities; and a dialogic stance.
