MOIRA WILKINSON CONSULTING
What we know and understand about ourselves, the people around us and the world we live in has a direct relationship to our quality of life and the impact we’ll have on the world as we walk through it. We can use what we learn to transform our lives and communities.
Distilling twenty years of experience with learners and education systems in twenty US cities and more than fifteen countries around the world, Moira Wilkinson works with individuals, organizations, schools and districts to design and apply learning that produces fundamental and lasting, systemic change.
Moira Wilkinson Consulting is founded on two premises: 1) That education is about introducing something new in order to produce change. And 2) That what we learn and how we learn it make all the difference in the world – literally. Transformative learning transforms lives.
