The Soton Times - Hilra Vinha

27 Mar 2009
University of Southampton
Education

I am very impressed by the moving reflection Hilra made today in a presentation at the University for folks from Education. It was a conference in which she presented her PhD research. She talked about the motivations for her research, and her reflections about it so far. I truly believe everyone in the room was moved by the storytelling about inclusion she presented, all coming from personal experience she has had all her life.

Hilra, your mission is far from coming to an end. you just started understanding better what to do and how to manage all this. I mean, the whole inclusion study is part of a much bigger mission you maybe still are not aware of, but you have to promise us you'll keep storytelling. . . and this should be your special bit for a better and just world.

I should be the one to say 'thank you' for inviting me to come to this event. i loved it. too bad i couldn't stay long, but i had other things to do in Avenue. We still owe ourselves some nice and warm coffee.

Big hug and relax to enjoy the weekend. You did a great job.
