Two villages: one inspiring experience
Four of us who work on a research project – Emerging Voices II (part of ‘Building a progressive network of critical research and public engagement: Towards a democratic post-schooling sector’ (Education Policy Consortium)) set off on a Sunday on a nine hour drive from Port Elizabeth to Port St Johns. Our task: to visit the first of 10 South African ‘Profiles of Possibility’ – groups/organisations/communities that are doing something that can be defined as a ‘transition’, a ‘prefigurative expression’, an ‘intermediary’, a ‘pocket of hope’ in an increasingly hostile world in which millions struggle to survive largely because traditional forms of employment are becoming a thing of the past.
