Action researchers in action. Poem by AR+ Poet Laureate Freek Sanders
Action researchers in action
A group of engaged action researchers
Gathers on a Thursday afternoon
Presenting their preparations
Augmenting the meaning
Learning together
By sharing their work
Micro interventions and macro perspectives
A glimpse of hope emerges
As a decades long journey
That must have felt lonely
Like a solitary voice calling in
A looming desert
Transforms into increased self-confidence
And emerging external validation
A family is branching out
Siblings are growing up
Adopting new names and new frames
Developing localised approaches
localised knowledge and localised impact
That transcends its locality
Into globalised know how.
