Our next Solutionary Micro-credential Course (SMC) cohort begins on October 9, 2024! The goal of the SMC is to teach you how you can use IHE’s Solutionary Framework to design and carry out solutionary Think Global, Act Local projects. The SMC includes six short modules - two modules that focus on becoming a solutionary educator followed by four modules, one for each of the four phases of the Solutionary Framework. Although you proceed through the course independently, you will have multiple opportunities to connect with others taking the course and to have coaching conversations by Zoom with your facilitator. The program is designed to be completed within three months. Enroll here: https://lnkd.in/e8uTQmF6 #HumaneEducation #SolutionaryTeaching #MicroCredential

How can curiosity help us foster stronger communities and a better world? When Zoe Weil mentioned briefly in an Institute for Humane Education Team Meeting last month that an owl had attacked her, I did not anticipate that she would reflect on this experience and share it through an article exploring this very question. One of the key points- "To communicate effectively with people who have different perspectives and beliefs, we must be eager to learn about those perspectives and beliefs." I recommend reading Zoe's full article to explore the importance of challenging our assumptions and staying curious. https://lnkd.in/gKTbB2cW
