[Oe List ...] Salmon: Whistle Points

[frank bremner]

Thanks to all who are contributing to this discussion.

 

Many friends and colleagues have found the Whistle Points etc challenging and helpful in thinking through how to avoid burning-out activism.

 

Back in the 70s the Whistle Points etc were decided out of a 70s context, and a global context, and (to a certain extent) the context of those participating in the exercise (more "western" than might now be the case).

 

Since then, has anybody any reports of using the methodology on a nation, a community, an organisation, or whatever, to yield whistle points applicable at that sociological level?  Has any group applied the methodology at global level?  Any shifts from the 70s analysis?
 

Cheers

PS  We saw Wayne Shorter, who once played with Miles Davis, and founded Weather Report, the other night as part of the Adelaide Festival.  What a performance!   In another genre the recent 50th anniversary tour by Cliff and the Shadows was one of the tightest presentations, musically and choreographically, I have ever heard/seen.  They still enjoy themselves on stage!

 

If you'd like to google some more local artists we've seen in the Festival, try Ted Egan (former administrator of the NT, songwriter and member of several indigenous "tribes"), the Kransky Sisters (from Esk ... in Queensland) and Francesca Martinez (who starred in British school series Grange Hill).
