Overview
Mission
Kallion Leadership designs and develops learning communities for anyone committed to leadership development through the study of the humanities. Kallion creates and facilitates experiences and resources for diverse, interdisciplinary, and inclusive communities of learners, professionals, and educators who are committed to leadership development grounded in the study of the humanities. Through high-quality and accessible programming, Kallion promotes the vitality of the humanities for leadership development for all.
What it reported doing in 2024
Kallion Circles are communities that practice "thinking with" each other through an investigation of humanities artifact(s). Kallion Circles serve people of all different backgrounds and experiences in their leadership development. Everyone in a Kallion Circle contributes to the leadership development of each other through questions, observations, and personal testimonials shared in an intimate discussion group. Circle participants reflect on their own abilities and desires to lead by considering humanities artifacts from a wide range of genres and time periods through new perspectives. In 2024, Kallion hosted 3 Circles facilitated by 2 Kallion facilitators for 30 participants.
