CGEE is inspired by Paulo Freire\u2019s philosophy of popular education, as well as other critical, experiential, feminist, indigenous, and postcolonial pedagogies that foment transformation. \u00a0<\/strong>The goal of all of our educational programs is the empowerment of the participants to work for personal and social transformation.<\/p>\n

CGEE’s Five Pillars of Education<\/h2>\n

Intercultural<\/h3>\n

CGEE draws upon the diverse backgrounds of participants,\u00a0students, faculty, staff, and our domestic and\u00a0international community members\u00a0as the basis of an\u00a0intercultural experience. \u00a0This experience\u00a0is enhanced by\u00a0facilitated reflection which analyzes cultural traditions, values and ways of interpreting the world, whereby participants look\u00a0at the\u00a0complexities of diverse cultures and deepen their own\u00a0cultural self-awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experiential<\/h3>\n

Our experiential\u00a0programming\u00a0combines a variety of activities such as story-telling, dialogue with host families and a\u00a0range of community members, small group work, excursions, lectures, internships, films, and the\u00a0use of music and the arts with other hands-on experiences. \u00a0As necessary catalysts for learning, critical\u00a0analysis and reflection\u00a0of the experiences are central to our programs and facilitation. Participants\u00a0are asked to reflect upon both new experiences as well as prior knowledge in a global context.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holistic<\/h3>\n

CGEE is committed to both intellectual and emotional learning. We encourage people to\u00a0reflect upon how they learn best and to grow outside of their comfort zone. Our programs are\u00a0developed with different learning styles in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analytical<\/h3>\n

CGEE encourages participants to analyze multiple perspectives and to develop their own\u00a0viewpoints. Our experiential interactions, combined with background reading and research to\u00a0determine the validity of information, provide the basis for critical analysis of multiple sides of\u00a0an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transformative<\/h3>\n

CGEE believes that the purpose of education is to create a more just and sustainable world. Our\u00a0goal is for learners to engage both in their own transformation and to act to bring about the\u00a0changes they envision for our world. Transformative education leads to greater personal and\u00a0social responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
