Collaborative Micro Actions (CMAs)

Collaborative Micro Actions (CMAs)

CMA 1

The objective of CMA1 is to gather and share voices/stories regarding what it means to be a Glocademic working and researching globally and locally, interchangeably, in specific contexts, and the power dynamics at play. It also aims to consider the hopes and aspirations for the future each of us brings to the concept of being and becoming a ‘Glocademic’.

CMA 2

The Glocademia Podcast aims at amplifying the voices of international scholars, activists, and practitioners engaging with the Glocademia Matrix through critical, decolonial, and inter-epistemic lenses. It bridges theory and practice by sharing reflections and research on intercultural responsibility, glocal languages, and academic identity.

CMA 3

The CMA3 titled “A Guide to Intercultural Responsibility within the Glocademia Matrix for Educators” aims to develop a comprehensive tool that improves educators’ understanding and integration of intercultural responsibility (IR) within the innovative framework of the Glocademia Matrix into their teaching practices. Grounded in decolonial and community-engaged research, the guide offers practical tools and strategies for embedding IR into teaching as well as supplementary materials such as  adaptable activities, assessment tools, and a glossary of terms. Ultimately, the CMA3 guide will contribute to transforming classrooms into spaces of critical reflection, ethical engagement, and intercultural co-responsibility—aligned with the values of the Glocademia Matrix.

CMA 5

In this CMA, participants design an interactive map of glocal languages. This project aims to illustrate the dynamic roles of languages and their meaning from local to global. This map will highlight the fluid nature of Glocal Languages and draw on examples from existing, ongoing and proposed empirical studies from a range of European and non-European languages.  

CMA 6

CMA-6 aims to promote self-reflection and to stimulate decolonial, intercultural, and critical experimental activities in specific educational micro-contexts across different levels. To this end, it designs and applies practical critical pedagogies/ teaching-learning methodologies that align with the Glocademia matrix and its axes.

CMA 7

The aim of this Collaborative Micro Action is to implement the Glocademia matrix conceptual framework and its three axes through applied research and experimentation. Glocademia critical pedagogies are aligned with research committed to communities and  social transformation, and with the concept of Intercultural Responsibility (IR) as a fundamental axis of the Glocademia matrix. Instruments such as action-research bridge the ideas of Paulo Freire’s popular education with Lewin’s participatory methodologies, emphasizing the importance of research committed to communities, wherein the “object of study” becomes the “subject of research.” This approach compels us to reconsider our performance as researchers and to work from a decolonial and non-extractivist foundation.
