Now is the time for driving systemic change to address the biggest global challenges. But how do we do it? Change makers need learning tools, proven effective techniques, and frameworks for action that accelerate the change process.
If this project is successful, I will write a manual called Designer's Guide to Large-Scale Change and release it for free distribution under a Creative Commons license, in partnership with Sustainable Seattle.
We are offering a three-part workshop series on How to Bring About Large-Scale Behavior Change in Seattle this summer. (Register for it here!) To benefit those who are unable to attend, we'd like to create a stand-alone manual that takes my curriculum materials and translates them into a shareable resource for change makers all over the world.
