Enduring Understanding We are attached to place (security) but yearn for space (freedom). Our choices have consequences,//

//
People make choices based on their understandings, and the actions they take as a result do make a difference || We are not passive observers of events, we can make and must make choices, and that by doing things so we can make a difference. || We live in a world of interacting systems in which the actions of any individual element affect others. || We tell stories to understand ourselves.//
//
Thoughts, opinions, and information about our world is exchanged by speech, writing, non verbal signs or images. || Change is the process of movement from one state to another. It is universal and inevitable. || What we know is moderated by perspectives; different perspectives lead to different interpretations, understandings and findings; perspectives may be individual, group, cultural or disciplinary. || Helping others without coercion or expectation

The Driving Question How am I connected to this place? What will I leave behind? What choices can we make? How is it connected to other things? What is the story? What is changing? What are the points of view? How can we help?
