Political Possibilities Intensive: Innovation From Local to Global Information Session
During this information session, you will learn more about the social issues that we will be exploring during this intensive. Additionally, you will learn more about the civic leaders and organizations that you can potentially work with and learn from as a participant in the Political Possibilities Intensive: Innovation From Local to Global. Come ask any questions you may have about the program, application process, speakers, or civic innovation!
More Information about the Intensive:
The Political Possibilities Intensive: Innovation From Local to Global is a community of practice in which students will collaborate with civic leaders to systemically analyze political issues to develop, refine, and propose innovative interventions.
During this cohort-based program, students will collaborate in small teams to apply frameworks and strategies from a series of interactive workshops to one of four social issues, culminating in a final capstone presentation.
These interactive sessions will be facilitated by speakers who represent civic innovation at four different scales (local, state, national, and international) and whose work embodies four different lenses for civic change (community organizing, government, policy advocacy, and social entrepreneurship).
By participating in this intensive, students will:
- Learn how to shift civic passion into political action through civic innovation
- Develop an actionable, innovative intervention to a pressing civic issue
- Build relationships with political stakeholders and community leaders
- Receive support from the Tsai CITY to expand their innovative solution beyond the intensive
