Learning to Create Together
Learning to Create Together is a Boisevolve initiative to engage communities in the design of a comprehensive, systemic K-12 civics education experience, starting with the creation by consensus of a vision for a desired civic life, then working inward to design the student experience. Attached here is a presentation about the concept that Matthew Shapiro gave at the National Conference for Dialogue and Deliberation in 2023.
The Evolutionary Activist (A Series)
The Evolutionary Activist is a series of booklets, authored by Boisevolve organizer Matthew Shapiro. Each booklet focuses on one priority area for evolutionary advocacy and activism. Booklets will be posted as drafts and final versions as they are completed.
The booklets can be read in any order. However, Making Sense of Today sets evolutionary advocacy and activism in a historical context, describing what led to the present turning point between unconscious and conscious evolution, and suggesting how groups like Boisevolve can play an important role. This booklet is intended to address the focus area of Evolutionary Awareness.
The following additional booklets that address priority areas for evolutionary activism and advocacy can now be downloaded:
Creating Together: Learning Democracy
It’s All Connected-The Systems Perspective
Looking Under the Hood: Assumptions and Images
Another booklet in the series–Human Development-Making Evolution Personal–addresses one of the key reasons why we need to consciously evolve our society and culture: greater support for human development. The booklet summarizes what seem to be the key requirements for human development and fulfillment, which can be thought of as personal evolution, or evolution within our own lives.
