At Spring Up, we believe in the power of the liberatory arts, and use storytelling and dialogue to facilitate trauma-informed personal and collective transformation. We view education as a mutual process- everyone has wisdom to share and something to learn. We honor this through the methodologies we use to design, develop, evaluate, and adapt. We use design thinking to generate our courses, emergent strategy to respond organically to the needs of our learning community, and participatory action research to lift up the wisdom of all participants in evaluating and collectively designing the future we desire.
Furthermore, consent is at the heart of our work. Each of us exist at the intersections of many identities and possibilities, experiences and realities that contribute to who we are. This means we do not tell you what you should think, we ask what your values are and how you want to live by them. We use liberatory education and emergent design to craft transformative learning spaces. We are rooted in histories of liberation and oppression. We believe that the present moment cannot be viewed in isolation if we wish to move towards a desirable future. Through storytelling, empathy, and values-building, we can create more equitable, enjoyable, and effective organizations and communities.
