MAF’s Learning Technologies division recently received opportunity to enhance connections within the international Christian community. GlobaLink representatives, Rick Sessoms and Tim Brannigan, invited MAF-LT’s Orality Specialist, Regina Manley, to join the in “Oral Learner Voice” subcommittee for the Lausanne Cape Town 2010 meetings.

GlobaLink coordinates the video recording and transmission of the meetings to remote sites around the world in order to provide broader access to this historic conference.

The subcommittee extends participation in Lausanne to those who cannot connect to the meetings via these sites. They place particular emphasis on those who work in networks of Oral Learners or leaders of Oral Learners. Twelve members from various countries comprise the subcommittee that has met once online via Skype and meets again on Wednesday, 28 April. The subcommittee’s goals include:

  • Ensure the Lausanne meetings receive the “voice and perspective” of Oral Learners as a balance to the literate communities’ majority representation. The subcommittee will strategically locate key anchor sites accessible to facilitators and leaders who can engage the insight, wisdom, and perspective of oral communities.
  • Transmit pertinent Lausanne communication, information and recorded sessions to these leader networks.
  • Facilitate ongoing dialog after the Cape Town conference between the oral community leaders and the leaders who met at Lausanne.
