Read All About it! Never give another presentation! In this fast-paced session, participants will learn a dynamic and fun method to enable a group of people to rapidly become engaged with any topic that is important for the success of the particular facilitation exercise. TEXTRA! is a well-tested methodology to use when it is important that all participants are aligned on a body of “Subject Matter” to be able to continue with their work. The big advantage of TEXTRA! is that it ensures participants are keenly engaged in the topic and will be well aligned on the key distinctions related to the topic or theme participants are working on. The workshop will be a live demonstration in which participants will learn the TEXTRA! facilitation process by actually doing it. The Facilitator: Date: Friday, May 15th, 2009 * * * * * * * * * * A Romanian Case Study: This learning event will examine learner needs and curriculum development within a Romanian context of global technical support. The project involved analyzing needs, designing, and delivering new hire training for Romanian engineers to deliver technical support to enterprise customers. These customers were located in France and Germany for a US company. The presentation will briefly overview Romania as a country and Romanian cultural values, and move on to examine learner needs driven by the Romanian context in serving this group of learners with an effective, contextualized learning solution managing three languages and multiple cultures. Ample time for questions and discussions will be provided. The Presenters: Date: Friday April 24th, 2009 * * * * * * * * * * “Is the Post in post-colonialism over?” Synopsis of the learning event This question seems all the more relevant as India emerges on the threshold of foregoing its over 200 years old colonial past and embracing a economically empowered new India. Postcolonial Studies in this context has always sought to reclaim significances for people from the non - European World through texts and cultural productions by which they define themselves. Postcolonial studies; an ever burgeoning theoretical approach in literary and cultural studies owes its origin to the anti - colonial politics of nationalist thinkers like Frantz Fanon and M.K Gandhi. In the context of 21st century new Imperialism, it is clear that the urgency of postcolonial agendas has not diminished. In this framework, I will be dealing with the work of the Indian born critic Homi Bhabha whose work came into prominence in the mid - 1980s. Homi Bhabha suggests a rereading of the colonial experience and the issues of colonial identity. His theory of cultural difference and ambivalent colonial discourse deals with the problematic category of the east versus the west. In suggesting an essentially homogenous nature of the West and the Orient, he allows one to explore the inherent contradictions of the Orient and the West. His theory of Cultural difference proposes complex identities; a new inter - nationalism. To sum up, Homi Bhabha leaves us with the question - In a World where difference is the primary category , how do we create associations beyond national interests ?
