What You'll Learn
Unlock the power of collective learning to drive meaningful change in complex systems. This workshop shows you how groups, organizations, and communities can move beyond rigid planning, pause to reflect, and adapt together to achieve shared goals. Through real-world examples and interactive exercises, you’ll see how small, intentional actions can add up to big, lasting impact.
You’ll leave with practical tools to make thinking visible, balance competing priorities, and connect everyday efforts to larger outcomes. Learn how to foster a culture of experimentation, equity, and collaboration—so your team or community can navigate complexity, solve tough challenges, and create the kind of change you want to see in the world.
How to view mistakes a natural part of learning
Understand why mistakes are not just common, but expected when working to achieve dreams of equity.
How to practice continuous learning in your equity journey
Learn emergent learning tools for creating a shared culture of reflection and repair when mistakes happen.
How others have navigated similar challenges
Listen to the story of one of our Colorado partners, embarking on their own equity journey, through a case study that applies the tools you learn in the course.
