I do find it challenging to teach concepts of leadership to students who have perhaps little-to-no leadership or work experience. When I look at the "characteristics of learning experiences", I think it addresses those concerns quite well in that it guides us to develop intended learning outcomes and instructional strategies to set these students up for success.

This is done at the beginning of a group project where students discuss HOW they will work together, including values that are important to them and how to resolve conflict when it arises in their teams. This foundation seems to help many teams to appreciate diversity and work through their challenges during projects.

Especially when we usually assume that leader=CEO etc. However, when I took a course on the "leadership journey" and learned about competencies that leaders should have, I was surprised how many of these competencies I shared. Probably we need to rethink the narrative of "leadership" or that leadership can be carried out regardless of the fact that he/she might not be in a formal leader role/position.

I use forms of gamification (e.g., LSP) but I believe that we need more methods that take students out of their comfort zones. I have experiemented with "embodiment" experiences such as improv theater which I have found very useful thus far. ]]> 2022-04-07 07:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2134168741 Responsible leadership must not be solely referred to an anthropocentric perspective but also to the environment where organizations themselves unfold. Also, in accordance with what Marina stated in the document, the Long term vision and systems thinking in decision making are important.

I believe having these kind of real-life experiences specially for the younger students is very valuable for them, since they apply the knowledge they've gathered so far. The problem is that most of the time I sense stress in students (i.e., not do disappoint the company's manager) instead of enjoyment... jlcamarenam https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2135426759 2022-04-07 23:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2135426759 For fostering empathetic communication a colegue and I use a "card game" that have all sorts of virtues. Then We ask the studes to pick a card and then give it to a team mate in order to recognize that virtue. Then those same cards are used to make constructive criticism to themselves and others. jlcamarenam https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2135437737 2022-04-07 23:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2135437737 marina_schmitz https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2135966537 - Self awareness/critical reflection: I use journaling exercises (reflective diary) which students have to hand in as part of their course assignments. At the end of each session, I pose three questions they need to reflect upon
- Complex/systems thinking and prototyping: I use the four phases of "Future Labs" (Reveal, Reframe, Rethink, Action) as baseline to some of my courses. Some of the exercises refer to systems thinking and others to get active by realizing their prototype through improv theater or Lego Serious Play (LSP)
- Emotional resilience: Brief meditation (based on Search Inside Yourself) as a "starter" before classes during a summer school (combined with nature experience)

- providing guidelines on how to apply these tools (maybe providing training sessions to educators)
- trying not to be normative/dogmatic
- providing hands-on material/exercises and not only "yet another" competency framework
- going beyond one's own discipline to look for innovative pedagogy and discuss pitfalls/fails of applying these in class

Sometimes we use sustainable leaders, responsible leaders or even conscious leaders. 
In fact, I feel that people are paralyzed and without understanding how to act in a scenario of wars, climate emergency and poverty.
In my classes, I have been worked with clarification of values/purpose, critical thinking, biases and responsible actions.
It is necessary to create solutions and alternatives for people to have hope for the future again.

In other words: this training and its implications are somewhat unknown or 'hidden'. I hope that the (i5) program can make such progress visible https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2136300707 2022-04-08 13:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2136300707 Journey caldana1 https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2136301685 In my course "Responsible Managers Training", students are taken on a journey of connecting thought, feeling and action, following the Ulab model. I think this strategy increases your self-awareness, perception of values and purpose. In this way, this journey raises awareness of their role as leaders in our world.

For example, a section that is more introductory, simply making slight changes to one's teaching practice could speak to those faculty who are less ready for radical change. Another section could be "advanced" where the playbook guides educators to make significant changes to the way they approach their teaching practice, attracting those who see themselves as progressive. Another version of this idea is to make iterations of the playbook as separate releases over a longer period of time: intro, intermediate, advanced. ]]> 2022-05-02 17:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/projectzerohgse/prmeplaybook/wish/2167141419
