Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

Running shoes are not required, yet we are in training for a marathon. In this course we're enhancing our knowledgebase, toolbox, mindset and resilience as we take up a contest unprecedented in human history— inclusive and just sustainability. Part race against the clock, part design challenge and part performance test, Team Humanity needs all of us to be informed, prepared, and in the game. Having teammates to train with nudges us to keep going as we learn with and from partners, communities and action leaders in this grand challenge. We examine five major concepts and explore their mutual generativity as we look for leverage points of system change: just sustainability; lifelong learning; place; learning ecosystems and social competencies for collective leadership and learning.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: Experience in design and facilitation in one of these areas- nonformal education, asset-based development, community-based arts, participatory action research or public sociology/anthropology.
