Being the Change

Students practice skills needed to be the change they wish to see in the world (Gandhi) by exploring and learning to translate their dreams into action in the world during their three-month individual internship. While completing their individual internship, students identify a way they can improve some aspect of life at their sponsor organization. They take their idea and see it through to a practical outcome while studying the power of setting intentions and life path visioning. Embedded in their chosen project is an exploration of learning and transforming education to serve the creativity of each student. Students explore cultural context, historical context, educational context, gender differences, and movements where people have taken effective action and grown to thrive in the face of oppression.
