The u-school is a visionary action learning platform—a school without borders—that offers a wide range of online and in-person learning opportunities for individuals and teams to build capacity for transformation. We offer certificate programs on leading systems transformation and on social arts like social presencing theater.
We empower businesses, civil society groups, public agencies, and others in the creative process of bringing about transformative change. Our process allows clients to more clearly perceive reality, envision new possibilities, and manifest their highest future potential.
Through our action research, we develop innovative frameworks, methods, and tools to support systems transformation and regeneration. We co-convene a community of researchers around consciousness, science, and social change, to activate and transform social fields.

Many of us feel that we want to be part of a different story - we just don’t know how. u-lab is all about the ‘how.’ - Otto Scharmer
This MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) run in partnership with MIT Learn is an 8-week program on the foundations of Theory U, a process for transformative change that blends systems thinking, consciousness and wisdom traditions, and civic action. It is a “learning by doing" program where you get familiar with Theory U tools, methods, and frameworks and start cultivating your ability to apply them to your life and work. This is an online self-paced course complemented by synchronous live sessions bringing together thousands of change makers from around the world.
