Collaborative Changemaking

What started as 25 years of work that I turned into a book/ toolbox late last year has become so much more over the past 10 months. Check out the rebrand as Collaborative Changemaking Labs- https://lnkd.in/eiqpTSDd I've/ we've designed, tested, and implemented a full menu of innovations to help equip and empower students, professionals, organizations, and communities with collaborative changemaking mindsets and skill sets. More detailed posts with gratitude and opportunities to engage coming soon. #collaboration, #changemaking, #empathy, #workshops, #certificates, #newsletters, #programs, #courses, #innovation, #prodev, #learning and development, #social entrepreneurship, #inclusion, #facilitation, #social impact, Ashoka U, Texas A&M International University, National Peace Corps Association, Collaborative Changemaking, Social Entrepreneur Corps, Social EntrepreneurU

HERE WE GO! The Collaborative Changemaking Field Guide and Certificate for College & University Students Very excited to be launching this in earnest after some great lessons learned and insights from piloting this summer. Big shout out to our partners Ashoka, Ashoka U, and National Peace Corps Association. Check it out and apply here - https://lnkd.in/eBREQ-Cs. Some modifications/ edits since our soft launch in May. We've really simplified things. + The Field Guide is now a downloadable PDF instead of a separate book. You can download a sample on the website. + As you'll see on the website, we've created separate offerings for high school students (in the works), college & university students, and for professional development (post about this coming soon). + I've recorded a video explainer that you'll find on the website. + It should take about 15 hours to complete the requirements. Simply weave the work into existing volunteering, interning, school program etc. experience(s). + We've created a points system to help participants track progress. Thanks to Miami Dade College for sparking this idea. + We've included some foundational requirements in the second module. For example, participants are asked to choose and reflect on a #solutionsjournalism article from Solutions Journalism Network's amazing database. We want participants to familiarize themselves with all of the great resources available in this space. + Participants now capture their work in their "Collaborative Changemaking Portfolio" in Google Docs. This makes it portable. + Participants can choose if they want their LinkedIn certificate to be from AshokaU or National Peace Corps Association. + We've kept the investment at a hopefully very accessible $125 per participant.
