The New School of Participatory Change offers two types of online courses: cohort experiential courses and individual self-paced courses.
Cohort Courses
Our cohort courses are longer, synchronous online courses designed to foster collaboration and build relationships with other participants.
Participatory Facilitation

Our self-paced online courses are shorter, information-focused courses designed to refine your knowledge, skills, and practices
