Students in Colombia are working on a project called "Give Wastes a Favorable Use" to address solid waste issues in their community. They plan to collect organic waste from homes and use it to fertilize a community garden. Residents who contribute bags of fertilizer will receive a portion of the garden's harvest in return. The students hope this initiative will create environmental awareness, develop sustainable waste habits, and beautify their locality in Teusaquillo, Bogotá. A video about the project is available at the provided link.
This document summarizes a design exercise for the community of Candelaria in Colombia. The exercise proposes replacing unhealthy habits in the community with literary gatherings and an experience notebook to promote reading, writing, and community. These activities would develop skills and provide a way for the community to work and live together. The social and environmental benefits would include a more united community engaged in meaningful activities, and reuse of books and notebooks.

Ancient Greece from 3000 BCE to 1200 BCE saw the rise and fall of two early civilizations - the Minoans of Crete and the Mycenaeans of mainland Greece. The Minoans established cities on Crete like Knossos with palaces, temples, and workshops governed by priest-kings until their mysterious fall around 1400 BCE. They had a matriarchal society and economy based on farming, fishing, and trade. The Mycenaeans then dominated mainland Greece from 2000 BCE, living in fortified hilltop settlements and engaging in feudal agriculture and overseas trade until their collapse around 1200 BCE, coinciding with the Trojan War and the arrival of the Dorians.
This document summarizes a design exercise project from students at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Colombia. The project aims to have craftsmen in the Usaquén neighborhood invite people to observe and appreciate their environment. The craftsmen will act as spokespeople to teach people about the history and meanings around them. The process involves meeting a craftsman, learning about their work, observing surroundings with their guidance, having new meanings evoked, and receiving a souvenir. A video was created to showcase the experience.

The CYCC Network held a Wisdom2Action event in Ottawa titled "Trauma to Resilience" to facilitate knowledge sharing between participants from various sectors working to support vulnerable youth. The event used participatory methods like world cafe and open space discussions to explore key issues around sexual violence such as lack of education, stigma, and system barriers. Participants shared ideas on how to better prevent violence and promote resilience, including trauma-informed practices, youth empowerment, and improving access to supportive resources and education across systems and communities. The discussions highlighted both challenges and promising approaches for moving young people from trauma to resilience.
The document summarizes a program called La Mariposa that aims to empower young Latina girls through workshops. It received grant funding to evaluate and improve its methods. The 12-week program uses interactive sessions to teach personal empowerment skills like journaling, affirmations, setting goals and more. Facilitators guide discussions on developing healthy relationships, the importance of education, cultural pride and personal excellence. The goal is to help struggling Latina girls build confidence and set directions for their lives.
Hands on guide for youth and adults, who are dedicated to finding ways for all kinds of people to engage in dialogue and problem solving on critical social and political issues.
This document discusses the art of facilitation and how it can be used to evoke and create wisdom within groups. It describes facilitation as drawing out a group's existing wisdom to solve problems or create solutions. The key skill of a facilitator is guiding reflective thinking by asking questions that move a group from recalling experiences to interpreting meaning and making decisions. When done respectfully, this process allows groups to integrate knowledge and come to a consensus beyond what any individual could achieve alone. Facilitation seeks to represent all stakeholders to consider every perspective in developing wise solutions.
This document provides an overview of a guidebook called "Promising Practices: Facilitating College Students' Spiritual Development". The guidebook was created based on findings from the Spirituality in Higher Education national study to provide examples of programs and practices that support students' spiritual growth in college. The guidebook includes descriptions of curricular initiatives, co-curricular programs, and campus-wide efforts related to spirituality from over 400 institutions. The goal is to help more colleges and universities undertake initiatives to foster students' spiritual development.
The document describes a faith formation program called "Power of One" that aims to make faith relevant to teens' lives by empowering them to make a difference through service projects. The program has three components: in-person sessions every 3-4 weeks, online faith lessons between sessions, and an individual service project chosen and completed by each student. The goals are to meet teens where they are, involve parents and the parish community, and help teens recognize and use their gifts. Students complete their projects independently but are supported through interviews. Completed projects are celebrated through student-led displays for parishioners. Initial feedback indicates the program is engaging teens and achieving its goals.

Mentoring involves sustained relationships between older and younger individuals that can benefit both parties as well as society. Participating in mentoring programs has been shown to help at-risk youth by lowering drug and alcohol use, improving relationships and academic performance, and increasing self-confidence. Effective mentoring matches aim to provide guidance, support, and positive role models to mentees.

The Foundation's new strategic focus is on student-centered learning opportunities that put learners at the center and make learning the constant, rather than time, location, and agency. This approach questions traditional variables like when and where learning happens. It also expands who can be learning agents to include a variety of community members in experiences like internships. The approach aims to better accommodate the need for more learners to succeed at higher levels by taking advantage of different ways of engaging students and the flow of information. Student-centered learning is seen as a way to address equity issues by moving away from a "one size fits all" model and better organizing learning based on student needs and interests.
