What are people saying?

"Altogether an outstanding experience. I recommend the program for anyone who works in a policy context on social systems change. This program holds the value added benefits of deep exploration of theories of change and exciting conversations with diverse scholar-practitioners that break the shackles off the imagination. Dialogue, deliberation and public engagement are skill driven capacities that rarely find their way to policy decisions. The learning from this experience helped me better understand gaps in policy processes and decisions and critical capacities for the public and policymakers. The faculty were incredible facilitators for learning as well as resources shaping our application projects. "
