Abstract
This chapter subjectively examines the experience of five members of the Future of Education project group at the International Women’s University (ifu). Their voices reflect the multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary, and multi-generational composition of the group. It is an examination of the processes which took place in summer 2000 and describes how the group’s journey towards a tangible project outcome became an important factor in the creation of an ongoing culture of cooperation.
“We must recognize that underneath the superficial classifications of sex and race the same potentialities exist.” (Margaret Mead)
