The Harwood Public Innovators Lab: In her own words
Friday, June 9, 2006(The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation)Daniella Levine, co-chair of Imagine Miami, participated in the Spring 2006 Harwood Public Innovators Lab. She recently shared her notes from the experience, including the following summary:
"The Harwood Institute provides a new framework for building civic life, moving us from a problem framework to one that embraces hope/aspiration in achieving solutions to critical public concerns. The focus was creating a discipline for change, that creates the nexus between thinking and doing.If you are interested in sharing Daniella's experience and joining a growing network of public innovators around the country who are approaching change work with a fundamentally different "lens," then please consider joining us for our next Lab, Sept. 11-15, 2006, at the Pier 5 Hotel in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
"People come to see themselves as critical actors in shaping the future of civic life and choices about critical public concerns of our times (quality of life, culture of common good, supporting children and families, environmental sustainability, respect and human dignity, new collaborative leadership
paradigm)."
