While we carefully designed and co-created this year with our brilliant facilitators and learning partners, we imagined you here on this lifelong path exploring with us over 270 trans-disciplinary (non-degree) educational opportunities and events that promise to be extraordinary!
Join futurist Meg Wheatley (Sept 30th), eco-philosopher Joanna Macy (Oct 8th), and social justice poet Drew Dellinger (May 1st) in one of the most magnificent places on earth - where Edwardian gardens, a 1908 castle and ancient forests meet the ocean and the snow-capped Olympia’s beyond.
And we're bringing back favourites such as the Professional and Applied Communications Skills Certificate, the three Professional Management Skills Certificates and NEW this year -- an Eco-Literacy Certificate with competency areas that cover: systems thinking, social and environmental responsibility, designing with the earth in mind, community-building and collaboration, and more. Not least of all, for those alumni who “learn until they know” instead of when the program ends, we offer a 5 day post-graduate in residency certificate – Foundations in Innovation and Transformation - beginning in January.
Off campus Continuing Studies is proud to co-sponsor an innovative leadership event designed to ignite social change and foster communities of practice called The Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter October 15-18, 2009 at the Tamawaga Campus, on Vancouver Island, just south of Nanaimo. These 3 days will explore how to apply the practices of courageously inviting, designing and hosting conversations that matter (such as Open Space Technology, World Cafe, Circle, and Appreciative Inquiry) during times of uncertainty. Visit www.berkana.org/aoh for registration.
Now is the perfect time to collaborate, participate and learn together!
See you soon…
The Continuing Studies team
