ABSTRACT

This chapter analyses learning in a personal-growth context to fit just as well into the context of organizational reflective learning. It argues that work experience has been in the voluntary sector and the experience of contributing an interesting way of reflecting on reflecting, looking to see if there is anything distinctive about the ways that organizations in the voluntary sector learn, or fail to learn, to walk down different streets. Although walking down the different street cannot rub out the migration of those children and their different stories, it can do something to optimize their situations now, and can certainly lead to different streets for today's children in similar circumstances. The knowledge is legitimized for everyone: a hole has been found in the street, and it is obviously a good idea to look for a different, safer, street.
