"Enter the Chaos: Engage the Differences to Make a Difference" is a reflective four-day program grounded in communal contemplative practice that invites participants to deepen their interior lives in order to integrate skills for interpersonal and cultural transformation. Drawing from the study of spiral dynamics theory and the evolution of consciousness, the workshop will provide time to practice new tools for healing encounters with people from differing worldviews in today's seemingly opposing value systems.

Shaping the next generation of public service leaders: An increasingly globalized world needs young leaders who can bridge divides and help solve our biggest challenges together.

The Voyager Scholarship was created by the Obamas and Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO, to help shape such leaders. Even though they come from different backgrounds, both the President and Brian believe that exposure to new places and experiences generates understanding, empathy, and cooperation which equips the next generation to create meaningful change.
