Part of a series designed to help commuity groups engage in discussion on the possibility of individual and community transformation, this discussion paper explores how education (both in schools and in community development programs) can help promote the wholeness of human beings. The need for the content and process of the curriculum to speak to every child at every stage of development so that he/she can develop or actualize his/her potential is considered. The symbol of the medicine wheel is examined to illustrate how separate entities, when seen in the light of the universe, are equal and necessary parts of a larger whole. The text is intended to be read aloud by the group facilitator with frequent pauses for discussion. It is accompanied by a reading list, activities, and discussion questions to review what has been learned, explore aspects of the discussion more fully, and apply what has been learned to one's own situation and community.
