In this workshop, Alejandro Juárez Crawford & Dalia Najjar, creators of OSUN's Certificate in Social Enterprise + Leading Change, will join colleagues from Bishkek to Bogotá to discuss methods they have developed for guiding aspiring change-makers as they design experiments to test out their ideas in the world.
Rooted in project-based learning for social innovators and entrepreneurs, this method has now been applied throughout OSUN, to courses ranging from sustainability to accounting, and from early college to the masters level. In this highly interactive session, Najjar and Crawford will focus on what they're learned by challenging students to test, rather than just talk about, their experiments. They'll draw from their experience, ranging from facilitating interfunctional, cross-cultural teams, to the use of fishbowl sessions in which students critique distinct modules that build into a final project. And they will discuss findings that show students thrill to the obstacles such experimentation forces them to encounter.
