Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a strengths-based, inclusive and actionable approach towards large system change and development. Appreciative Inquiry works on the premise that every organic system has some inherent generative forces, which when amplified, unleash positive energy and enable collective commitment.

This integral approach is inclusive or holistic rather than exclusivist or reductive, and it values and integrates multiple explanations and methodologies. Various domains and lines of development and intelligences will be explored, including cognitive, ethical, aesthetic, spiritual, kinesthetic, affective, musical, spatial, logical-mathematical.

The course will use principles of

• integral theory,

The integral approach (also called integral psychology or integral philosophy) is a grand synthesis of all the major psychologies of the West and meditative traditions of the East. For the 21st century in the era of global connectedness, we also need a global psychology that takes into account all systems out there, and instead of asking “Which is true?” suggests that all have truth and connects them into a unified theory of human psychology.
