Join us for a 75-minute virtual workshop creating space for new educational paradigms.

Through our work with many organizations, we’ve found that the dominant culture paradigm often limits and shapes our worldviews and the ways we pattern the world through our behaviours, actions, and relationships. When engaging in future visioning, imagination is often unknowingly overshadowed by dominant paradigm thinking and being. This results in iterative change rather than true innovation.

This workshop will deepen understanding of Bill Sharpe's Three Horizons model to identify two levels of systemic disturbances:

1. What needs to die well in order to create space for alternatives to emerge, and how to hospice aspects of the dominant educational paradigm

2. What interventions could catalyze the seeds of alternative education paradigms into fully realized futures

IS THIS EXPERIENCE FOR ME?

This experience is ideal for you if this list ticks a number of personal boxes:

1. You are committed to transforming educational futures from within post-secondary institutions, K-12 education, and other learning modalities

2. You are invested in transforming education to bring forward alternative futures 

3. You feel like you are living between the worlds of the dominant paradigm and true alternatives

4. You are interested in connecting with other colleagues around the globe leading change

5. You are curious to explore group-based modalities for futures work

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THE EXPERIENCE?

This workshop will centre on how we simultaneously hold multiple states of change in parallel:

1. Sitting with the dominant paradigm to intentionally discern what should be carried forward and what should be hospiced and allowed to die well; and 

2. Creating the space, dialogues, and imaginations about alternative futures that represent a paradigmatic shift from the status quo.

CAN I STIll attend if I missed part One?

Absolutely. We will share materials in advance of the workshop and do our best to reorient the group into what has emerged.
