richness, inspiration and hope

Thanks to everyone who took part in this forum, either by reading or commenting. Three weeks have flown by, and we have certainly had a rich discussion!

Let's keep talking to each other, and dreaming of the future we'd like to see. Please consider typing up those thoughts and sharing them through Literacies!
