Conversation Leader Barbara Litrell teaches Caring Economy Course in her community

Caring Economy Conversation Leader Barbara Litrell has created and is facilitating a 6-week class at the Osher Lifelong Learning Center at Yavapai Community College, in Sedona, Arizona. The curriculum is based on The Real Wealth of Nations by Riane Eisler and the Center for Partnership Studies Caring Economy Leadership Program. 

Barbara writes: "I have 10 adults in the class and we have had stimulating dialog. I have been using Caring Economy Leadership Program materials—handouts, small group work etc. This experience is helping me to learn the (Caring Economy) information much more thoroughly. We learn by teaching. "

The course convenes a conversation about ways to shift to an economic system that accomplishes what it’s supposed to do, provide for human welfare, human development, and a sustainable and healthy environment. Topics covered include:

• The Domination/Partnership Continuum 
• Making the Gender Connection 
• Making the Business Case for Caring 
• Changing How Economic Health is Measured 
• Changing Business and Social Policy 

Barbara will also be speaking about the principles of a Caring Economy to groups in May and October 2013.

Keep up the good work!!
