COURSE INFORMATION

Appreciative Inquiry

CACE 0.5 elective credit

Offered online and face-to-face at UVic

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is an energizing approach for sparking positive organizational change and group development. AI works well in adult education classrooms, communities, workplaces, or virtual spaces. AI focuses on what is working well (appreciative) by engaging people in asking questions and telling stories (inquiry). This shift in focus to the positive generates life within the organization/group allowing it to move more effectively towards its goals. Participants will examine the theory behind AI, engage in the '5 D' model (Definition, Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny/Delivery), and explore ways to apply AI in their own organizations/groups.

Objective

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the basic theory behind Appreciative Inquiry
• Identify uses (models and processes) of Appreciative Inquiry
• Define a topic
• Design questions
• Tell stories
• Work with data from the stories
• Apply AI to group development and change processes in adult education settings
