Stacking stories : Exploring the hinterland of education

What happens when a small group of educators get together?

What could they do, what could they make, what could they become?

Not necessarily what you might think. This book describes an alternate journey, one that departs from the busy traffic of goal-oriented projects, over-determined aims, and the doorstep delivery of interventions in order to wander reflectively across a more expansive landscape.

We came together to record the successes and failures of a small research project, witnessing it gather momentum and then dissipate, but always holding open the space for a nuanced way of working that allowed for – even celebrated – humour, deviation, distraction, and dissatisfaction.

This is a record of that journey, told through story fragments and reflective commentary.
