[Dialogue] New Chronology of Imaginal Education for a New Website

Tue Jul 7 10:58:25 PDT 2015

Still unclear on focus of this . . .  Wonder if the creation implementation and revision of the Human Development Training Schools (HDTS) / Human Development Training Institutes (HDTI) might count.   Designed by a task group during the Global Research Assembly in the summer of 1975 or 76, revised on site in Maliwada, tested with 60 or so participants in the autumn of that year, revised, taught again in Maliwada, revised, taught again in Maliwada, then streamlined to produce larger numbers of graduates over the next several years.  There is a bound, mimeographed copy of that curriculum in the archives (may be in the unaccessioned files that came from Phoenix). I also have a copy at my house.

Curriculum was taken and revised / evolved for use a number of places, including Kenya, The Philippines, Indonesia and North America. Evolutions included 3 week versions, adaptations to developed urban situations and others.

In each situation, the core of the curriculum was the actual host community and the development taking place there.  A combination of imaginal frameworks, participatory learning approaches operating as a disciplined community and teams and development of participant capacity with ICA methods wrought substantial change in participants.  This effort went on long enough and in several situations of close follow up that revisions were specifically crafted and redrafted to produce better results.

Is this at all the kind of thing you are looking for??
