Think Tanks - Washington, Washington, United States
If the last few years have taught us anything, it is that intelligence, wisdom and humaneness cannot be taken for granted anymore. Established in 2005, MetaCulture is devoted to helping develop intelligent, wise people who can sustain humane societies. MetaCulture's founder, Ashok Panikkar, has a background in teaching people how to think, communicate and manage conflicts. DEMOSAPIENS, MetaCulture's educational division is committed to developing intelligent and thoughtful citizens who can sustain free and open societies. Our programs are designed to cultivate: 1. CRITICAL THINKING – Thinking objectively, without personal or social biases.2. PERSONAL & CIVIC DISPOSITIONS – Engaging generously with other people in our community.3. REAL KNOWLEDGE– Understanding REALITY- beyond personal perceptions and ‘lived' experience. A lifetime of working with groups and communities to strengthen their collaboration, communication and conflict management processes has taught us that the health of a community is dependent upon the character, competence and dispositions of the people involved. This has serious implications for democracy itself. Recent events have demonstrated that, in addition to free elections, rule of law and institutions, a liberal democracy needs wise citizens, not just subjects, spectators, bystanders or consumers.
