Here we consider various situations that may situate and support learning.
Start Christopher Alexander's Network of Learning pattern at Brain 
.
> ". . . another network, not physical like transportation, but conceptual, and equal in importance, is the network of learning: the thousands of interconnected situations that occur all over the city, and which in fact comprise the city's "curriculum": the way of life it teaches to its young."
This diagram is a starting point for a local diagrams for supporting learning that is relevant to place and culture. From the nodes (and or subtract nodes) add pages exploring your opportunities for learning. Read Alexander's pattern Network of Learning. Bring it to life locally. What could be more important?

Every situation and every role has it's own network where it is central. Create each of these to understand the opportunities and frustrations. The trick is to find ways to integrate local education in to the existing lives and work of the people and institutions involved.
Causal Loop Models provide wonderful scaffolding for leaning. Consider learning how to do this. If you are serious and will commit to use it and to teach it to others, contact Kerry Turner .
