From March 20 through April 17, several citizens of Bingen and White Salmon attended a global classroom course with the title Theory U: Leading from the Future as It Emerges. It was a global classroom because the course lectures were broadcast on the internet simultaneously all over the globe from MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Students had to be early risers to attend each 90 minute class which began at 7 a.m. local time. Grass roots leaders attending the course learned about overcoming personal limitations and expanding their capacity for listening, observing, creating and facilitating action, first at the personal level, then expanding it to the group, institutional and finally global levels.
