New
Horizons’ News of the Day!
Question:
If I want to get from “here to there,” what does New Horizons suggest?

(Excerpted (and edited) from Possible Society in Motion Study Guide
Fundraising Campaign Proposal– Mission Statement in progress, July 14, 2013.)
In today's world we see human interactions become
increasingly polarized. As an antidote,
New Horizons Support Network, Inc. teaches
community-building values, skills and practices to apply to personal
and collective interactions in small groups and organizations. We teach
"leaning in,” mutuality, reciprocity and taking responsibility in
personal relations.
Beginning in the areas closest to home we work towards the
best possible among all parties as a foundation for creating the peace we wish
to be part of, globally. Growing beyond
polarization to peace is possible within the family, in neighborhoods,
schools, businesses, faith congregations and community groups (even the
political!), if we do what is needed.
To achieve these objectives, New Horizons is now seeking
research and program development money to launch our next education project,
the creation of study guides to
enhance the impact of our Possible Society In Motion Project. The aim, here, is to guide and support local,
regional and national study groups in learning principles and skills and in
putting certain community-building values into practice, first with each other
and then more broadly. The study guides will help individuals and community groups move forward, utilizing the principles behind our existing Possible Society In Motion Radio Show podcasts and data from our Possible Society In Motion Study to overcome polarization and other forms of negative diversity problems.
