Academic Collaborations
One Herd works with students and faculty to cultivate mindful, compassionate citizens who are deeply connected with themselves, others, and the natural world. By fostering meaningful interactions with people, animals, and nature, we encourage growth in emotional intelligence, empathy, and a sense of responsibility. Our programs are designed to inspire individuals to engage with the world around them in a thoughtful, respectful, and sustainable way.
Through these connections, we aim to create well-rounded individuals who are equipped to contribute positively to their communities and the environment.
Core Model of Learning
Empowering self-directed learning, we provide content and invite students to influence the program at built-in decision-points that encourage active involvement in the direction, exploration, and implementation of student learning.
The fullest, deepest, and longest lasting learning occurs when students are actively engaged in both body and mind. For every piece of content, we design an experiential learning activity for students to explore and practice their learning in a hands-on-method grounded in the real world.
Partnering with nature and a variety of non-human animals, students find connection and fully engage with the world around them. It is our aim to build interspecies communities to expand our opportunities for growth and learning and to maintain an essential connection to the broader world.
