Co-Creating a Thriving World: Multi-Media Telecourse
Essential Knowledge for Empowered Action
Announcing a profound, new kind of sustainability experience – a virtual multi-media telecourse, in basic and advanced versions, that:
- deepens your understanding of all major global issues and their interconnections -- offering the biggest-picture view imaginable
- immerses you in a conscious community that shares your values
- engages your head, your heart, and your hands
- supports you in taking positive action toward planetary healing
- earns you a certificate in sustainability,em>(14-week version only)
First, there was the Sustainable World Sourcebook -- a one-stop shop for all the major global issues, their most promising solutions, and what you can do to help.
Next we created the companion Learning & Engagement Guide. Its questions for contemplation, themes for discussion, videos to watch, experiential activities and community action ideas engage both the mind and the heart. They make the Sourcebook come alive.
Co-Creating a Thriving World, offered in basic (7-week) and advanced (14-week) versions, is a multi-media telecourse that immerses you in community while you deepen your understanding of the state of the world. Based on the Sourcebook and Learning & Engagement Guide, this highly interactive experience will be offered to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world this spring, as part of the largest sustainability education initiative ever, the Spring of Sustainability. (The 14-week version leads to a certificate in sustainability.)
In both versions, the course includes a weekly 90-minute conference call, an online forum, and dozens of provocative, intriguing individual and group activities. It offers experiences that can change your life while you work with your classmates to contribute to solutions to our most pressing issues, from local to global.
Co-Creating a Thriving World will launch in both 7-week and 14-week versions on a date TBD in April, 2012. For more information, contact us.
