Last night (Wednesday 1 April, 2009) was the official launch of the School for Social Entrepreneurs in Australia. You can read about this launch, the school and it's (impressive) students here: http://www.sse.org.au/
I have the privilege of being a student this year of this inaugural work which has 10 wonderful years of history in England. I drive up to Sydney on Tuesday evenings for classes all day Wednesday and to return to Canberra in the evening (600ks of driving). Is it worth it? Without a doubt it is. Having attended 2 weeks of classes already I am looking forward to what is in store for us throughout this coming year. I am already applying principles learned to actual practice in my work at NationsHeart (http://www.nationsheart.org.au/)
I fully endorse the teaching methodology of the School. Rather than piling a lot of theory onto our already full plates (and heads), the School's philosophy of learning is "learn by doing". Of utmost importance in this process is hearing first hand those who have travelled the road we are; expert witnesses come and share their story, we ask the questions and growth happens! I agree with this methodology.
I want to thanks SSE for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of this first year. I especially appreciate those supporter who have given to under-write the cost of my attendance. And to the SSE staff -- you are the greatest and I look forward to a fantastic year together.
