Message from Matsunaga Institute for Peace… Another great free resource from the Institute for Humane Education for youth sixth grade and up:
The FREE guidebook for youth and changemakers, How to Be a Solutionary: A Guide for People Who Want to Make a Positive Difference.
A guidebook that offers a step-by-step process to become a solutionary. Solutionaries are people who can identify problems and their causes, find strategic leverage points for change, and develop and implement solutions that do the most good and least harm for all life. Our world is full of solutionaries just waiting to emerge!
Learning to be skilled researchers, fact-checkers, solutionary thinkers, and successful change agents will provide meaningful and important work for young people, as well as adults, especially at this time of great risk and opportunity for our global community. It will turn a difficult and challenging time into an opportunity to make a powerful difference, build thinking and life skills of great value, and potentially lead to unprecedented learning and action.
As you may know, IHE produced a free Solutionary Guidebook for teachers and parents this past winter, and we’re thrilled that more than 800 educators have downloaded it since December, using it to help their students become solutionaries. Now students – and all activists – have their own companion guidebook!
