Introducing The New Community Project


Founded and directed by Chidi Asoluka, this Upper School project-based team-taught course employs the concepts of design thinking (empathic problem solving), and the disciplines of History, English, and Arts to explore challenges related to community in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.  Working in tandem with students from a variety of schools, this course seeks to have a parallel online space for communication and problem solving.The New Community Project refers to how we define community, how we know a community, how we build community through collaboration, and how online teaching and gathering spaces form their own unique new communities challenging our assumptions about the construct itself.
