June 2014, Volume 7, Issue 1

EJOLTS has been busy this year. We have prepared the June 2014 issue, which, as well as inspirational papers has two new sections. We have also made an addition to our virtual space of cooperation. The new EJOLTS Community Space offers practitioner-researchers an opportunity to share and gain support for their Living Theory research in embryonic state and as it develops, contribute to the research of others, and take part in conversations about issues of interest to our community. We hope in the process we will, as we said in December 2013, ‘… develop democratic ways of creating together and, ‘…inspire people to embrace the values of democracy and contribute towards the ideals of ensuring a just and fair society’ (Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, 2013).
