We have bee somewhat in awe of late at the extent to which, the Urban Incursion has developed from a proposal for a pilot project to a full blown entity. Bias Declared [http://redsevenone.wordpress.com/] What Flux accomplishes and the work of Futurelab and groups like Demos, who we first encountered at the EPSRC ‘Sandpit’, as well, is in showing that the is an impetus, a sovereign assignation if you will, in the UK understanding the necessity of change in the way people learn. There remains a hope that this same spirit will infect those responsible for making decisions on the Western side of the Atlantic.

To those who disdain at the notion that this change is necessary, allow me to share two oft repeated quotes. ‘The time has com to put a fence at the top of the cliff, instead of a net at the bottom: Thus giving a chance to build a bridge.’ ‘One can Lead, Follow, or Get out of the way: Change, it cometh.’ As always, Flux created a stir in the ranks of my gang of voracious knowledge seekers.
