I would say that the goal of imaginal education is to change behavior. Our outmoded, out of date stories of reality (images) are at the root of all our problems. Example of an outmoded story--we can have unlimited economic growth on a finite planet--the story underlying climate change, global warming, and all the associated symptoms. Randy Sent from my iPad

Imaginal Education acknowledges that images affect behavior and that images can change. The goal of the Imaginal Educator is to change images by using a variety of teaching methods, one of which is the structured conversation model, called ORID. The goal of Imaginal Educators trained by the ICA has been to change a victim image to an image of one's individual power to affect one's life and the world.

In Nepal and India Nelson Stover and Loren Weybright are collaborating on two schools one in Nepal and one in Chikhale school in Maharastra.
Loren is onsite in Nepal for 3 months doing Action Plan projects with the staff & teachers and curriculum design and coaching with individual teachers.
In January they both will be in Maharastra at the Chickhale school for a 2 day professional development.
Here is a question that needs an answer: Just what is Imaginal Education, Now and how do you practice it?
Nelson asked this question and they are looking for a variety of (simple) responses.
Can you share a sentence on Imaginal Education rom your experience, short, simple?
