About this title

Review:

"I highly recommend this book for educators who want to teach a variety of social/emotional skills for new leaders to succeed in this complicated world." - Ed Glassman for Gurukula Network

"Cooperative Games for a Cooperative World: Facilitating Trust, Communication, and Spiritual Connection belongs in the collection of any educator or leader working with youth because it offers an approach quite different than that of competition-oriented team-building: instead, it advocates activities based on cooperative processes.... From the initial overview of each game's concept and themes to its organization, templates, instructions, and keys to adding relaxation techniques and discussions that cement the learning experience, this collection leaves nothing to wonder about. It is a 'must' for leaders working with youth, who would change the competition-oriented structure of team-building to a cooperative effort that incorporates a better understanding of physical and mental techniques to build better participation." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"It is in this seamless integration of a universal approach to spirituality coupled with a strong sense of social and economic justice that the book fills a unique niche... Teachers, workshop leaders, parent organizers, coaches, and activists will find imaginative ideas in these pages for engaging in the exhilarating work of transforming society through facilitating group experiences that free people from conditioned responses, provide visual and kinesthetic metaphors for understanding the human condition, and open up new pathways for taking action in the world." - Journal of Unschooling and Alternative Learning
