Classroom materials by theme
Information and materials on the evolution and development of our human traits and our world.
Causal relationships between our behaviors, our technologies, our social and natural environment shape our present and will shape our future. We need to be able to understand these causal relationships so that we can influence them in a direction that we all want.
Different teaching materials on the recent causal relationships in a globalized world, especially the role of our behaviors, norms, institutions and technologies.
Information and teaching materials for exploring the principles and behaviors that enable various communities around the world to sustainably manage shared resources and achieve other common goals.
OpenMind (https://openmindplatform.org/) is an educational project of New York University.
The goal is to help people develop a capacity for perspective taking and understanding of new or challenging viewpoints on important issues. In line with our GlobalESD Design Concept, OpenMind brings together insights from evolutionary anthropology and various branches of psychology about our cognition and social behavior. These insights can help us to understand our own intuitions, beliefs and reactions, and those of others.
We develop further guidance and classroom materials to help bring the approach and content of OpenMind into school classrooms.
