Information about the upcoming GROWL book
Our meeting to plan the GROWL book has been very productive and helped us build a common vision for what we want the book to be. We are starting our work to compile the different modules and interesting experiences coming from this 2 years of the GROWL network into a nice compilation that inspires others to learn and act.
We took a few important decisions that we believe are essential to get us quickly done with a nice looking and inspiring book:
- We want the readers to feel some of the inspiration we all got by taking part in the courses. Therefore, the structure of the book chapters in the book, has a mix of "module as theory" (as in the GROWL platform) and the own unique experience of the course itself.
- We will not have a separate chapter for methodologies, but rather integrate them in boxes layouted along the chapters, where senseful. The same happens with authors and concepts coming from the degrowth theory.
- The deadline for sending a final version of the module for review (by course/module coordinators) is June 15th. With this, we will not have the 500 books printed on time for the last GROWL meeting, because the HEB printing service will be then closed. However, we will try to bring a nearly final version, which can get some last reviews and comments from the course and caravan participants.
I have updated the guidelines for writing book chapters. Make sure to read the carefully. You can also follow our progress and join the work on the Trello board.
The next editorial meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 28th, 11:00 AM.
