The A.W.E. Project: Reinventing Education, Reinventing the Human
About this ebook
Matthew Fox has done it again. As one of the most prophetic voices of
our time, he has created a unique new project that speaks to the
concerns and hopes of all of us who care about creating lives of meaning
– for ourselves, our communities, our children and our children's
children...
The A.W.E. Project reminds us that awe is the appropriate
response to the unfathomable wonder that is creation – from the
magnificence of galaxies, to the complex and brilliant process of
cell-differentiation, and the miracle of the humanhand (a product of 14
billion years of evolution). Imagine how much richer learning will be
for all ages when we intentionally cultivate a sense of appreciation and
wonder.
A.W.E. is also the acronym for Fox's proposed style of learning – an
approach to balance the three R's. This approach to learning, eldering,
and mentoring is intelligent enough to honor the teachings of the
Ancestors, to nurture Wisdom in addition to imparting knowledge, and to
Educate through Fox's 10 C's. The 10 C's are the core of the A.W.E.
philosophy and process of education, and include: compassion,
contemplation, and creativity.
The A.W.E. Project does for the vast subject of "learning" what Fox's Reinvention of Work did for vocation and Original Blessing
did for theology. With passion and conviction, Fox turns conventional
"education" upside down, shakes out what is no longer working, and
offers visions of what can be.
The A.W.E. Project includes a DVD featuring original
compositions based on the 10 Cs by Hip Hop artist and filmmaker
Professor Pitt – part of the worldwide movement of rappers for peace and
justice.
