Integrate Learning and Societal Change

 

Social artists are people who use their imaginations and commitments to creating

a better world. Social Artists are individuals who work on themselves so as to

develop their capacity for learning and collaboration. They are skilled to provide a

basis for dialog, and leadership, and guidance to evolve changing, values, laws,

moral agreements, and social structures of their societies.

The Social artist has the ability to be truly multi-cultural which includes the ability

to enter another’s belief systems, cultural styles, centering stories, myths and

rituals. Social Artistry is performative, in that it requires lifelong learning, action

and availability to world issues in the context of different cultures, and not just

from the point of view of a particular sector or group or nation.

The aim of Social Artistry is to help implement creative change and growth in

many arenas and in ways that will encourage and prepare people to more

accomplish the goals of integral intelligence, learning and its applications to Life

on this planet.

To become a Social Artist is to be available to a variety of trainings: crosscultural,

human and cultural development, education in human and cultural

capacities and potentials, and other skills aimed at enabling both individuals and

groups toward the creation of better societies and peoples. Social Artistry aims at

providing strategies that can work in an interconnected world. Fundamental to

the training of effective leaders is the understanding of interconnected world

macro- problems, as well as local or regional issues
