“Normally, I really am resistant to types of trainings and seminars about abstract concepts of the way of work. It feels really intangible and false, kind of like corporate nonsense. But this program was the opposite of that. It was applied. It was by people like me for people like me.”
“Openscapes is one of few experiences beyond university that have been so organized, structured, guided, and constructive in developing my collaboration skills.”
“The biggest impact is to have the vulnerability to present incomplete or in-process work in order to get the most out of collaboration. I’m hesitant to share messy work product, but this program has shown me the benefit of bringing others in when it’s messy, and how that helps.”
See the timeline below for dates of mandatory 2023 Cohort activities.
