A coalition effort to build a truly abundant education for changemakers

The Idea

A small group- crystalized at the Exchange and growing quickly since- has united around a shared vision to work together across several organizations to create an open education for changemakers, connecting active learning and growth across many stages of life, and the transitions in between.

The Specifics

As a coalition including Hubs, Co.Spaces, P2PU, and universities, we are working to launch open, cross-university minor/majors and cross-city masters in changemaking this year. In the process, we are pulling together many existing building blocks- tools, resources, and organizing practices- both for our purposes and also for adoption and replication by others. Teams have formed to work on 1) creating flexible guidebooks for peer-led action-learning, 2) kick-off days and retreats for forming groups in communities, 3) going to Berlin with P2PU this summer to help develop tech tools and our community outreach strategy together, 4) starting a “living roadmap” interview project to help changemaker navigate many different paths in life, and more.
