Pioneering a new model for higher education and social innovation

amani-blog

I chose THNK’s program because they seemed to be doing what I wanted to do, albeit for a very different target audience. But in re-imagining what the education of change makers could be, or rather, what it needs to become, we are walking very similar paths and I wanted to experience THNK’s approach firsthand.

Responding to the widely-perceived gap between university education and the marketplace for jobs, the Amani Institute’s mission is to develop next-generation talent for solving social problems.

The Art of letting go – THNK as a special Kairos

gunter_header

A lot has been written on THNK from my fellow THNK participants about the program and now as the fourth module is on my doorstep I´m thinking back how those intense 6 months (actually only 35 days if you would be continously at THNK) have changed me and where I still need change.

Its about those internal fights with your Ego, your inner sustainability and the ways how you should transform yourself to the new person you´re longing to become for a longer time.

THNK IS A TRUE SWISS ARMY KNIFE FOR INNOVATION

blog frank smilda creative leadership program

I am a current participant in THNK’s Creative Leadership Program. And I find myself in an international environment where I am constantly offered elements that I didn’t know was looking for – talk about serendipity!

To me, THNK feels more and more like a home instead of a School and that makes it very special.

On THNKing and Reflecting

jillian

PEOPLE | Sometimes it takes a strong period of reflection to realize you’re learning something. That sounds obvious, but I (we, perhaps?) spend so much of my days in rapidfire communication, flitting between e-mail(s), Twitter, blog(s), from account to account, from work to personal, until it all blends together. When you’ve lived your life that way for a long time, reflection becomes something for which you have to carve out time, carefully, thoughtfully. It’s something I do in strange but solitary moments, often on airplanes and other dark places.
