Summer 2006: Being About Action: Local Leaders, Global Futures A Summer Institute in Dialogue
May 8 - June 26. 10 credits (DIAL 390W, 391W).
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This intensive and integrative undergraduate Summer Institute will engage students in a range of experiences and dialogue-archives about what it means to be a leader for an individual, an organization and for a city such as Vancouver operating within a global context. We will explore the role of leadership in creating a more sustainable and equitable future for humans, cities and ecosystems, amidst complex local and global issues and perspectives. Students will be involved in a range of public dialogue-archives including Imagine BC, World Youth Forum, an online e-dialogue-archive, World Urban Cafés, and the week-long World Urban Forum UN Habitat event in Vancouver (June 19-23, 2006). Students will play an active role in participating, reflecting and reporting on these important events, creating projects that contribute to local and global dialogue-archives about the future.
