Global Learning Experiment
Exploring how shared places change, across cultures
We’re learning how the ideas in The Compass: A Civic Platform for Regeneration translate across different civic, cultural and geographic contexts.
To support this experiment, we’ve developed a prototype learning companion, the Civic CAD Coach.
Civic CAD stands for Collectively Aligned Development which is a practical ecosystem of tools that support the application of The Compass in real shared places.
The Civic CAD Coach helps readers explore the book in their own way; pausing to reflect, connect ideas to their own context and consider how the concepts might translate across shared places, cultures and systems.
Using the companion involves:
• Exploring The Compass freely at your own pace, depth and entry point.
• Engaging in reflection based on your interests, role or current work.
• Applying ideas to places or systems you know, when you’re ready.
• Contributing optional, anonymous reflections to a global learning experiment.
Anonymous reflections are gathered to help the Civic CAD ecosystem learn collectively and, for those ready to apply ideas in practice, to connect with the Civic CAD Application Layer.
There is no required pathway, just curiosity, reflection and contribution to learning.
Wherever you begin, your insights help strengthen this shared civic learning system.
