This course is designed for people who want to learn how the Integral Model can be applied in a practical way to integrate and align the dynamics of their personal and professional lives in city/town/village governance and/or local government, business innovators and/or enterprising leaders and in Civil Society or the Third Sector. This course is for urban practitioners as well as village elders, city staff, regional developers and municipal agencies (including fire, police, healthcare, education, emergency response, justice).
This online training will be very useful for anyone working in the Third Sector, as leaders, staff or volunteers. It is an introductory course for people practising in smaller towns or larger urban centers. It is also offered to consultants, practitioners, and professionals serving urban and regional development who want to explore how an Integral City model can add higher and deeper options to their urban strategies.
In the course, we introduce participants to the 4+1 Voices of the Integral City (Business, Local Government, Civil Society, and Citizens, plus actors from other regional cities). We explore the basic toolbox of the Integral City. The toolkit contains core teachings from the Integral City Book series. We explain the 5 sets of Intelligences that all cities need for coping with local challenges like citizen engagement or global challenges like climate change responses. We offer 5 maps of the city that can be used to align all the scales of interaction from individual expression to neighbourhood meetings to city-wide sustainability. And we use the biomimicry of the beehive to reveal how the 4+1 Voices of the Human Hive can work together for setting priorities and achieving prosperity.
During the training, we will draw upon the research and experience of the Integral City Communities of Practise (in Canada, USA, Netherlands, Spain, Russia, Finland, Mexico, Australia). We will respond to participant questions, curiosities, and learning objectives.
