Assumptions

Key Assumptions for Sustainability Changemakers KP MTA YIP MSLSHuman Society is facing a Sustainability challenge, represented by the metaphore of a FunnelThe deeper root cause of unsustainability is the sense of “separation” embedded in thereductionist mechanistic world view.Success is defined as a sustainable society living within the four sustainability principlesA backcasting from sustainability principles perspective can help society to move strategicallytowards sustainabilitySelf-motivation and initiative: Learning must be purposeful, meaningfulLearning should be connected with personal self-development, self-identity and visionTrust in participants: Social systems have the capacity to self-organize themselves.Challenging the mental construction of self, the world, and their relationship expandsawarenessCollaboration: Peer learning, Team Learning and Team work helps a fruitful learningLearning happens through an experiential learning cycle: learning by doing connected withreal lifeFostering and holding a safe fertile space, providing basic tools facilitates learning from takingrisks and making mistakes Learners’s Self is the primary resource for learning: both intuition and logic are necessaryLearning is deeper and more authentic when head, heart and hands are integratedThere is diversity in learning styles and how people process new ideas and knowledge, solearning experiences should be inclusive with that diversityLearners need a non-judgemental space where they can open their heart to connectwith what really matters for them

IT’S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!

YOUR JOURNEY

Collective Shuffling Random walk And exchange cardsDon´t read them yet!!

Grounding practice: BreathImagine yourself in front of a blank canvasBring the presence of someone special foryou, may be a mentor or a spiritual master (you already know who)

What do I need to learn today? What is my burning question today? Free individual writing /drawingGo with the flow. Don’t think. Let it flow.

What is my gift for the world? What future wants to emerge through me?What are those seeds of future waiting to be born?

Now take a cardand reflect on its meaning.If it has no meaning for you, Try with another card

Silence

Collective mindmapping Express yourselfDraw whatever emerges

Final circle: What happened Aha moments?What did I discover about me and my work? What is my next step? What am I going to do with what I learnt? How can we keep connected?
