CLAD Pakistan
Transformation Studies co-jointly launched in Pakistan
CLAD or Community Learning Activation & Development foundation program, is particularly designed to unlock the local potential individually, working alongside Akhuwat’s key personnel to communally release the Pakistani GENE-ius whereby GENE stands for Grounding, Emergence, Navigation & Effect – a four-worldly catalytic process for societal transformation, intuited by Trans4m co-founders Profs Ronnie Lessem and Alexander Schieffer in 2010.
Program Key Features
A 4-month part-time Certificate program (February to May 2019) accredited by Akhuwat/Trans4m, for both its own staff and for those of affiliated organisations aimed to achieve five things, that is to:
- set the individual/communal stage for an overall re-visioning of development as transformation, by thereby rooting such in a particular individual and communal soils;
- identify both the inner (individual/self) and outer (organisational/ communal) callings of participants/institutions/societies;
- activate learning communities around them, while also assimilating relevant local and global theories on communal learning;
- assimilate and apply narrative research method for writing up such, individually and collectively, as case stories, which can be drawn upon for future learning purposes
- transform, in theory, if not in practice, at the enterprise level, marketing into community building, and economy-wise, a resource-based economy into a self-sufficient one.
