After 2 months of guided learning in Sep & Oct, we invite you to dive deeper into the field in what we refer to as ‘Peer Action November’. In short, you will have 4 weeks to organize in groups of 2-5 people, either realizing a change project of your choice or embark on a peer learning deep dive, zooming in on a particular topic within the field. This page is meant to guide you through the process & explore the different options.
You can choose between 2 pathways:
Propose or join an idea & find a way to realize the project within 4 weeks. It is important that the project has an appropriate scale for the group to realize. Some broad examples include:
Presenting your project/startup/idea to NEIII advisors/partners in an interactive way
Creating an impact investing guide for individuals in the New England area
Prototyping a new product idea or process that you will propose to your employer
A resource base that further explores a particular topic from the course
Starting to build a utopia around bioregional finance in your bioregion
Designing a game to inform others about the flaws of the economic system & how money functions in the world
..Any other idea you'd like to explore with your co-fellows
We leave this option very open for you to create and explore together, using the time to work on it with others in your group. Make sure to ask for feedback from the Fellowship cohort and others from our community.
Please put your idea ob the & later sign up your group so we can see who already has a group
In December, when we are back together, we’ll have some time where you can share about your project, your learnings, and the skill sessions you organized in November.
Starting in October, after 4 weeks of diving into the program, you will receive an invitation to start reflecting on a project you’d like to realize or a topic you would like to learn more about. We will gather those ideas & concrete proposals on a miro board & observe if clusters emerge.
In a second step, we call forward concrete proposals & idea givers, meaning there should be a concrete frame of a project (which might still shift over time) or approach to the peer study group (eg. one of the proposed programs you will go through together). People can then sign up for the emerging options & form a group. Once all groups have taken shape, we will create a communication channel on our community whatsapp for you. No worries, we will make sure that everyone finds a space :)
From here, once November started, you are invited to self-facilitate, find moments to meet & decide how you would like to go about the process. We are of course available if you have any questions throughout the process. There's a zoom room available for you which you can use for your meetings.
You will be invited to share your results and/or learnings in a practice space early December. The format of the presentation is very flexible & should not take longer than 5 min.
We expect a total time budget of 8-10 h per person for the month of November.
We're happy to share the learnings, outcomes & resources from the different groups with you!
