‘Knowledge is powerful, no one can take it away from you. You can lose everything in your life, but no one can take away your knowledge; that’s what makes education so powerful’ – Alice Chigumira former Zimbabwean refugee and OU student on the transformative power of education (July 2016 edition of The Open University newsletter)
The five freedoms by Virginia Satir
‘To see and hear what is here, instead of what should be, was, or will be. To say what I feel and think instead of what I should. To feel what I feel instead of what I ought. To ask for what I want instead of always waiting for permission. To take risks in one’s own behalf, instead of choosing to be ‘secure’ and not rocking the boat.
