Session 0-"But i meant well". Unlearning Colonial ways of Doing good

This opening session was framed by Prof. James Thomas, author of “But I Meant Well: Unlearning Colonial Ways of Doing Good.”
In this session, he will set the tone for the Collaborative Unlearning Labs by introducing the core mindset of unlearning, encouraging participants to question assumptions and reflect on how development is actually practiced in real contexts.

The session served as a shared starting point for the lab, grounding participants in the reflective and practice-based approach that will guide the series.
