growing group care 🌱

Group work can be challenging. How can it be organised to support meaningful connection and learning processes?

This zine is part of a project on growing group care. It aims to support caring and inclusive group learning in universities and beyond. It is meant for those just starting group projects.

It is inspired by research on care and critical pedagogies, as well as creative and participatory research approaches.

The zine was developed by Abi Abosejo, Adja Seck, Cong Fu, Ellie Jennings, Kesara Ariyapongpairoj and Louis Saha. The process of making a zine together served as a way to surface and unfold the possibilities and tensions of group work. It was group work on group work.

The project was organised by Jonathan W. Y. Gray, Liliana Bounegru and Pippa Sterk, and supported by King's Academy.

JY Mak took photos and offered input on check-in prompts, zine-making and learnings from community organising.

You can read the zine below. You can also download it from the Internet Archive or Zenodo.
