NTTI's Training of Trainers Program is based upon
a unique and powerful set of concepts and ideas
that assist participants in 'thinking outside the
box'. For many, Social Change comes like a roaring
wave crashing against their backs and driving them
to a rocky shore. For others, the waves of change
are experienced as a breath-taking moment, as they
watch it approach from the safety of the sun soaked
beach. Social Change is predictable and manageable
to the degree that we recognize the characteristics
of the paradigm shift that is both the cause and
the consequence of the change. The NTTI Paradigm
offers you a range of topics and training to increase
your knowledge and skills at working with youth.
More importantly, our Training of Trainers Programs
will assist you in unlocking your higher potential
and enhancing your performance on and off the job.
Context - refers to our
physical, cultural, and social environments, and
their influence upon human development and behavior.
Emergence - refers to
the possibility that certain events or experiences
will occur in a given Context.
Process - refers to the
means by which Context can be managed and manipulated
in order to influence and predict Emergence.
There are different Levels of Social Change. We
are currently experiencing Social Change of the
Fourth Kind. This level of social change always
marks a major paradigm shift. NTTI advocates a New
Paradigm based upon our state-of-the-art understanding
of human nature, human capacities, and our modes
of psycho-social interaction. The Paradigm utilizes
modern science AND the wisdom of ancient peoples
whose knowledge was successfully applied for thousands
of years before the first great paradigm shift.
It draws upon the library of human knowledge in
all fields, and that is perhaps a good place for
us to start a brief outline of the dimensions of
the present paradigm shift. This list is only suggestive
of the extent of current trends and the training
opportunities NTTI can offer.
Old Paradigm -
Said only the Scientific Model can explain
the world.
New Paradigm
- Says the world is more complex than
the limitations of Science can accommodate.
Old Paradigm
- Said any technology that can be developed,
should be.
New Paradigm
- Says no technology should be developed
that threatens the welfare of the seventh
generation.
Old Paradigm
- Said the sum total of the knowledge
of specialized experts is wisdom.
New Paradigm
- Says knowledge is measurable content;
wisdom is sustainable application. |
