Power, Privilege, and Presence: A Transformative Workshop on Social Innovation

In recent years, we are seeing a breakdown of our conventional worldviews and the emergence of a new paradigm. In these chaotic times, the shifts in power dynamics and hierarchies of privilege are not always what they appear to be.  Being aware of these changing narratives empowers us to create new norms with new values and principles. We now have an opportunity to harness our collective potential to build a world that is equitable, diverse, sustainable and collaborative.

In this workshop, you will:

• Inquire into the emerging socio-cultural narratives in power and privilege

• More meaningfully integrate seemingly paradoxical worldviews

• Engage in experiential exercises to transform your self and your community

• Find your own unique pathways towards social innovation and impact design

• Connect with other like-minded professionals and a learning community

Course includes readings, experiential exercises​, discussion​ and course application to individual projects.

Transformative and Transdiciplinary Approaches to Social Change

In this introductory course, participants learn the fundamentals of a transdisciplinary approach to social change, sustainability, and international development. We will explore how an Integral Approach can be used as mechanism of sustainable change. Participants will also learn how to apply these principles to a wide variety of situations in both your personal and professional lives. In this way, this course will help you better position yourself in an increasingly complex world with multiple global narratives, and will help you better analyze, strategize and engage ‘wicked’ problems — problems that continue to evade single-discipline, single-sector approaches.

Diversity, Community and Leadership

This course explores the multiple meanings of diversity, leadership, and community and directs students in a self-inquiry process about - who am I, who am I becoming, who are we, and who do we want to be as leaders in an emerging paradigm of global citizenship, interrelationship, interconnection and compassion? Students explore diversity, community development, leadership skills, new breakthrough ideas and technologies for expressing their highest and deepest values as agents of transformative change in the personal lives, families and communities.
