Description:

AROUND THE WORLDWALKING OUT AND WALKING ONWalk Outs are people who bravely choose to leave behind a world of unsolvable problems, scarce resources, limiting beliefs and destructive individualism. They walk on to the ideas, beliefs and practices that enable them to give birth to new systems that serve community. This is the story of an emerging movement of pioneering leaders and communities around the world who are self-organizing to create healthy and resilient communities.UNITIERRA, MEXICOFROM SCALING UP TO ACROSSTaking things to scale doesn’t happen vertically through one-size-fits-all replication strategies. Visit Universidad de la Tierra, an alternative to institutional education, and the Zapatistas, a people’s movement for self-determination. In both places, there is a deep, unshakable belief in the power of people to claim their right to live and learn as they see fit. Observe how their experiments move horizontally, scaling across villages and nations, trans-locally, as many people learn from their discoveries and are inspired to try their own.ELOS INSTITUTE, BRAZILFROM POWER TO PLAYMost leaders believe that it’s their job to motivate people, that without their directive control, no work gets done. The most common way to motivate people is through external means, using punishment and reward. Experience Warriors Without Weapons, where play, not power, evokes people’s passion, creativity and motivation to work hard on seemingly overwhelming challenges.JOUBERT PARK, SOUTH AFRICAFROM PROBLEM TO PLACEToday's approach to social change posits that large and complex issues must be addressed one by one, with institutions and experts who specialize in that particular problem. Explore tiny Joubert Park in Johannesburg, where people have created changes in education, public safety, arts, ecology, food and more using the principle of start anywhere, follow it everywhere.KUFUNDA, ZIMBABWEFROM EFFICIENCY TO RESILIENCEConventional attempts to solve problems of scarcity focus on efficiencies--attempting to do more with less by cutting budgets and staff, minimizing resources, optimizing outputs. Kufunda Learning Village has achieved resilience in a time of total systems collapse by choosing a different approach. They engage in a wide range of small local actions that give them the capacity to continuously adapt to an unpredictable and chaotic world.SHIKSHANTAR, INDIAFROM TRANSACTING TO GIFTINGThe transactional culture of today promotes self-interest and scarcity; people strive to take as much as they can and accumulate more than they need. In a gift culture—common in many traditional societies--generosity prevails and money loses its power. Shikshantar is experimenting with gift culture, replacing mindless growth with the confidence that we have what we need. AXLADITSA-AVATAKIA, GREECEFROM INTERVENTION TO FRIENDSHIPIn our pursuit to find what works, we seldom notice how disempowering it is when we look for answers from experts and best practices created elsewhere. At the Art of Learning Centering at Axladitsa-Avatakia, participants walked out of dependence on experts and learned to trust the capacities and creativity available in friendship to address their community’s needs.COLUMBUS, OHIO, USAFROM HERO TO HOSTWhen a community stops waiting for a hero to save them, it discovers internal resources and solutions to solve otherwise intractable problems. People in Columbus, Ohio, are walking out of heroic leadership and walking on to a new “operating system” of using conversational processes to address complex problems, such as healthcare, homelessness, poverty, public safety and more. Journey With UsIn Walk Out Walk On, authors Meg Wheatley and Deborah Frieze invite you on a learning journey to seven communities around the world to meet people who have walked out of limiting beliefs and assumptions and walked on to create healthy and resilient communities. These Walk Outs Who Walk On use their ingenuity and caring to figure out how to work with what they have to create what they need.
