Updates on New IF Discussion Guides and IF International
– Mark Notturno
IF recently published two new discussion guides that were developed in sanctuary projects conducted by IF Fellow Mark Notturno—one on ‘The Future of Employment’ and the other on ‘Global Responsibility for Children’. Dr. Notturno conducted the two projects simultaneously. But the two projects were very different, and the project on ‘Global Responsibility for Children’ had two unique components. It was, first of all, IF’s first fully international, or global, sanctuary project, involving twelve panelists from twelve different countries around the world. It was also the first IF sanctuary project to be conducted entirely online via video-conference calls, with all panel meetings convening on the video-conferencing platform Webex. The project, however, was otherwise conducted as a regular IF sanctuary project, with each panel meeting once a month on Webex for four hour discussion sessions.
