unDiploma for Collaborative Leadership and Social Innovation

STRIDE provides you with the tools

and inspirations you need, to work on those challenges

that you knew for a long time you wanted to work on,

but didn’t really know how to start.

The STRIDE CoLead program is an 8-month incubator for social innovation

which empowers you to develop critical collaborative leadership skills and

become a force for good.

Designed as a transformative learning journey, CoLead offers a way to

experiment and explore taking action through embarking on a (ad)venturing

process. You co-create your own learning vehicle be it a startup, a campaign or

whatever else you come up with.

All of this is offered in a uniquely adaptive frame of learning & doing that we

call STRIDE "unschooling". This learning methodology is based on:

unDiploma for Collaborative Leadership and Social Innovation

CoLead

STRIDE is the unSchool that enables holistic, integrated and highly customised

learning processes to make real change possible.

STRIDE - CHANGE Y(OUR) TOMORROW

collaborative leadership,

real-life implementation (learning by doing),

active discovery,

learner defined content (you define what you wish to learn

- with our support).

3|

There is an increasing number of people asking themselves what they are

actually doing and engaging with and how to lead their life, fueled by an urge

for finding purpose and meaning. Through experiencing, intensive self-reflection,

as well as deep personal research, you find out what your passions are and what you

want to dedicate your career and life towards. You become skilled in the art of asking

questions to interact differently with your surroundings and solve relevant problems.

You develop a personal practice to reconnect to yourself and the world. Through

this, you can act from a place of inner strength and take leadership when required.

Humanity is facing severe and urgent challenges, from inequality to global warming

and migration. Now more than ever, we need highly committed people to take action

and contribute to make tomorrow’s world better than today’s. Be a changemaker

by learning to develop personal, organisational and societal theories of change.

Co-create resilient high-performance teams and develop a deep understanding

of collaboration. Learn true relation-building on a professional and personal level

instead of just networking. Dig deeper into matters of concern by attending topical

STRIDE Labs so that you can develop skills and expertise where they are most

needed.

The notion of “work” is changing rapidly: digitalization, AI and the rise of robotics

are contributing to a future in which different skills will be needed for still-to-emerge

jobs. Build and develop your own toolbox of methods, skills and expertise in order

to thrive in ever changing environments. Learn how to lead and facilitate processes

to “navigate the unknown” and how to foster environments of collaborative leadership.

Learn to spot trends and how to navigate the vast amount of opportunities based on

your personal interests and growing capabilities.

STRIDE for me is like a small quiet island

in the middle of our noisy times, where we create time

and space to search and train with

processes and skills as an informal way for collaboration.

I’m starting to sense how this approach will help

us analyse the big problems of our time

in a more comprehensible way and shape new sustainable

solutions together.

V I C T O R W A N D E R L E Y C O L E A D C L A S S 2 0 1 9

You learn best when it makes you buzz. Joy and feeling alive is an often

undervalued part of (y)our learning experience. Real learning means facing

uncertainty and not-knowing; it takes you over the edges of your comfort zone,

and this can sometimes be demanding. We ensure that you'll stay connected

and that you develop a deepening trust into the wisdom and direction that

the search for joy and aliveness can bring.

How you learn

P E R S O N A L I Z E D L E A R N I N G

L E A R N I N G T O G E T H E RYou co-found a real team-venture. In this process, you constantly have to step

out of your comfort zone, experience and experiment with the new skills you

learn. Together with reflecting, discussing and understanding theories, you

build your essential collaborative leadership skills and engage in a process

of world-making.

We understand learning as a personal process which happens partially in

a collective environment proceeding from "know-what" to "know-how".

Together with your coaches, you set up and continuously work on an individual

learning contract. You set your own learning goals, how you will get there

and how you will know you got there. You receive personal support to achieve

the goals relevant to you.

L E A R N I N G W I T H J O Y

Learning through a process-oriented design, you maximise individual learning within an inspiring group of peers.

7|

In this unschool way of doing things,

you really create your own journey.

You don’t know how it is going to look like,

but you create it on the way.

You get out of the program with what

you need for the next step.

competences for personal and societal transformation you cannot google.

Labs are chosen according to personal needs and interests in order to develop

skills and expertise where they are most needed (see also STRIDE DEEP and

CORE options, p.19).

Learning formats

We have fixed weekly co-working days in order to ensure working on STRIDE

individual and team tasks. On these days the provided coachings for individuals

or teams take place as well as the morning body-mind practice. Furthermore,

STRIDE and Impact Hub network have many additional events that you can

participate in to increase your network, skills and knowledge.

“Build-ups” are curated intensive workshops, which fuel the transformative

learning. The monthly sessions last usually 2 days and take place from Friday

to Saturday. There are 3 offsite sessions of 3-9 days taking place in Berlin and

the Swiss mountains. They include for example creative experiments, crisp

input, coaching, peer-learning, mobile classrooms, project development,

individual reflection, body-mind practices.

Decide how much space and time STRIDE should take in your life and enhance your learning experience as you wish.

Supported by a strong network of makers, shapers and visionaries, you

team-up with others to collaboratively devise products, services, processes,

campaigns or systems that help tackling societal challenges. You develop

the skills and knowledge to enable social innovation, locally and/or globally,

online and/or offline.

I M P A C T O N T H E W O R L D

Collaboration invites us to meet ourselves and grow by learning from multiple

perspectives. In a process, you learn both to connect with yourself and to

enable a collaborative and inclusive culture that is caring and effective.

Collaborative Leadership is the key competence needed to design and

facilitate social innovation.

Innovation emerges through participatory frames like co-creation, open

innovation, real-world experimentations, social movements. CoLead pushes

you to question how things are currently done or looked at, fall in love with

a cause and then develop critical, creative and strategic skills via real-life

collaborative ventures. You develop collaborative leadership and the deep

personal skills needed for the future of meaningful life and work.

With your STRIDE venture you put ideas into reality. You become part of

something that can flourish after the program and through this you can

potentially create your own job. As a unique and purpose-driven education

program, CoLead qualifies you for future job opportunities. You learn

collaborative leadership skills demanded by visionary employers and gain

experience in the fields of social innovation, entrepreneurship and impact.

Whatever we do, we see it as a chance to grow and learn, personally and as

a collective. It is about connecting with ourselves, others and the world through

seriously playful experiments. Included in your CoLead program is also

a membership of Impact Hub Zürich, the premier entrepreneurship and

innovation community in Switzerland. Additionally, STRIDE makes personal

introductions for you through its extensive networks, potential employers,

peers and experts in various fields of interest.

Self-leadership is the art of guiding and coping with one’s own emotions,

focus, and inner distractions. During CoLead you develop a personal practice

that allows you to find and build emotional and personal balance - two of the

most undervalued skills for our well-being and the basis for our meaningful

interaction with the world.
