HIP AT A GLANCE
The Human Interdependence Project (HIP) is designed to give learners and those who support them the space and framework to respond to the world’s biggest challenges facing us in this 21st century, including the ever-expanding technological shifts and impacts of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the recent trend toward xenophobia and nationalism, the struggle to find balance between individualism and collectivism, and the most recent pandemic, outbreaks, strife and war which have unequivocally altered our ways of life.
HIP is centered on the paradigm shifting philosophy of being product-oriented, globally situated, and personalizable (as promoted by Dr. Yong Zhao. As such, students are at the center of problem-finding and problem solving as they pursue their strengths and passions to create value for others. HIP helps these participants develop an ICEE mindset (innovative, creative, and entrepreneurship education) – a mindset that enables acquisition of essential durable skills and a worldview that is empathetic, understanding, culturally aware, and open to the value all have to contribute.
