Getting Involved

 
To be humanly ‘engaged’ is to be contributing to a future.
 
Individuals and organizations can join the dialogue, exchange their ideas and perceptions, increase awareness, amplify the need for change and act in union. It begins inside our selves - first…

Step two: Become a World Citizen Pathfinder

‘‘Let the future find a pathway in you’’
 
Getting on track and aligned to the future is a mind-shift away.
 
Becoming aware of the larger picture of our situation causes our mind to shift in its alignment from a ‘me-first’ way of thinking that seeks always to take, to a principle-centered way of thinking that actively contributes to a new state of affairs.
 
The World Citizen Pathfinder Program
 
The Pathfinder Program provides the basic training in becoming a responsible world citizen – and not surprisingly this begins with ourselves and our chosen responsibility to play a contributing part in these new times.
 
Your webinar hosts are: John Edge, Christine Thompson and Elaine Graham.
 
The nine ‘webinar’ sessions
 
Each webinar is approximately 45 minutes long.  Details of the webinar presentations will be posted on our website and notifications sent to all registered members. You will be able to watch the webinars from our webiste at any time you wish.
 
 
The Webinar Sessions:

• Session One: Introduction ‘Living in times of Change – introductory session.  In this session, we lay the foundations for what change means, and why the alteration of external behavior is not enough.  Change begins within ourselves, and is an alignment to what is new.
 
• Session Two: 'The Power of Mindshifts - a Mental DNA for mour Future' This, the second webinar in the series, opens up the pivotal role that mind-shifts play in the realignment of our thinking and attitudes. As a kind of ‘mental DNA’, mind-shifts are a powerful means of helping us to change our alignment to connect to the evolutionary opportunities possible today.
.   
• Session Three: Mind-shift One builds on the notion of change with the mind-shifts that establish a new way of thinking about ourselves from a larger perspective (not ‘me first).  Complete with daily practices, this session shows the way to beginning to develop a world citizen mind-shift.
        

• Session Four: Mind-shift Two continues the journey by showing some elementary practices that enable our mind to stay open to the inter-connective web of life that we share with all living things. This session begins to ‘heal’ the segmented and judgmental mind sets we have come to inherit from our past, and supports a different kind of awareness of the world around us   

• Session Five: Mind-shift Three looks at the evidence that the change taking place on our planet is a global phenomenon.  The orchestrating of all the new ideas, feelings and perceptions that people from all walks of life are becoming aware of is clearly not being orchestrated by any one person, but by a higher field of intelligence.  What does this say about the evolution process?
 
• Session Six: Mind-shift Four brings focus to the shift from material values to spiritual values. In our world today, many people count themselves rich or not from an almost exclusively material perspective- It is almost certain that in the future we humans will have less in the way of possessions but perhaps become richer if our value system counts ourselves rich in terms of such inner qualities as settlement, inspiration and the sense of playing a meaningful part in creating the future. 
 
• Session Seven: Mind-shift Five continues the journey by examining the way each person in their daily life can be a discoverer of new progressive ways that support a new future. Discovery is not the right of a few people in science but is the potential of all as we find new ways in every aspect of living.
 
• Session Eight: Mind-shift Six establishes the basic reasoning on which a life of contribution is based. It is not enough that we cease to take and destroy and pollute the world and each other’s lives. We need to actively build the basis for a life of contribution.
 
• Session NIne: Mind-shift Seven provides the basis for an inter-connective commitment from us all in continuing to work for the future. We are all part of a living web of consciousness and the world citizen network brings us together in common purpose. There is strength in the many views and attempts just as there is strength in the diversity of our world citizen members.
 
Webinars are largely presentations from material on the presenters' screens, but  p
articipants can also email questions, and whenever possible these will be answered. Part of the wonderful experience of these sessions is that you will be sharing the webinar experience with people from all around the world.
 
No two sessions are the same – they are live and evolving month by month as our network grows around the world.  Hopefully, you will be so engaged in these sessions that you will want to take the next step and become a ‘Facilitator of Change’ – at meetings at our centres or elsewhere..
 
The webinar process is FREE.

Step three: Facilitators for Change Program  

‘Come and help us do it’
 
We cannot make choices for others, but we can help to illuminate the territory of what is possible so that others can make illuminated choices for themselves.
 
This program is open to anyone who has completed the World Citizen Pathfinder Program.  
 
The ‘Facilitators for Change’ program provides the basic skills and ‘centering of self’ to be able to help bring awareness to others of the picture of the world in which we live, and the transition alignments that would enable each of us to make a meaningful contribution to a new time.
 
There are many interpretations of the data on climate change, green house gasses, the rise in temperature … but surely all must agree, as humans living on a planet and interacting with each other and other forms of life, we must find a new standard of respect from which even to see the challenges afresh.
 
Facilitators for Change Program

There is no greater service one person can provide for another than to help them frame the ‘truth of the situation’ in such a way that they can see what is real, and thus choose where to invest their life. The Facilitators for Change programme will be available as the project develops.
 
 
Proposed Facilitators Progam Structure
 
Friday Evening session: Introducing the ‘change coding’
In this first session, all participants will be introduced to the ‘change coding’ as we call it.  This is a mental positioning from which self-observation becomes possible, to see the difference between reacting to challenges (alteration) from the past and seeing the ‘real’ potential for change as the future.
 
The daily practice of this change coding literally brings about a new mindset that is exploratory in seeking to find new and appropriate ways to go forward.
 
Saturday Morning session:      
• Review of Friday evening’s session
• Going through the slide show ‘Living in Times of Change’ and understanding the main issues of climate change, diminishing resources, pollution and then …
• Taking some of these ‘obvious’ challenges that we face in our world today and seeing the difference between alteration and real change
 
Saturday Afternoon session:
• A new template for self – the way choice and responsibility are at the heart of transition and upgrade
• The way each of us can engage meaningfully in response to the challenges of our times from a new level of self that chooses
• Summing up about the personal/human positioning in respect of the different challenges to be found in the slide show. Sunday Morning Sessions:
 
Sunday Morning session:            
• Audionics – the art of facilitating your audience, and some simple keys about public speaking
• The necessary attitudes of being a good facilitator are not based in technique, but in caring about the issues
• ‘Getting out of the way’ – the way of facilitating oneself by allowing the passion for the issue to pass to others 
 
Sunday Afternoon session:          
• Practice sessions – in a coaching way everyone will get a chance to work in small groups to present the ‘Living in Times of Change’ introduction, and get constructive and supportive feedback to help them develop their ways of facilitating
• The administration of sessions – the way to enroll others in the World Citizen network
• General reflections and summing up …
 
Through the facilitator program, you will become licensed by TFC International to introduce groups of people (up to 20 people in year one) to the first Templates for Change module “Living in Times of Change”.
 
As a facilitator, you will be taking a direct responsibility in facilitating others in the transition to a new time. You will introduce TFC, share our motives and purposes, and be an example of our principles by your genuine concerns.
 
These programs are run at weekends:
• Friday evening from 20:00 until 22:30
• Saturday from 10:00 until 17:00
• Sunday from 10:00 until 16:00
 
 
All facilitators must have joined the World Citizen Network, and have completed the Pathfinder Program before applying.
 

Facilitator Programs are offered ‘live’, and not through webinars, so keep an eye on our events page where we publish our schedules of forthcoming events around the world, or write to us to request one of our team to come to your part of the world to work with local facilitators.
