Shared Learning
Concept Overview

Few of us would disagree that our lives have been deeply impacted by the communities in which we live. Whether it’s fond childhood memories of playing with other kids in the neighborhood, or carefully planning our travels to and from home to avoid potential harm, we can all think of concrete ways our communities have shaped us.

That’s why we intuitively see the truth in the saying, “Zip code is a better predictor of your health than your genetic code.”* But why? And how do we change it?

We experience the world through the narrow lens of our own existence, and the context of our existence – our community – is always changing. In order to create the change we want to see, we must first understand community behavior.

System science makes this possible, and Curandi is founded on the belief that by building strong, collaborative networks supported by the right tools and technology, we can learn what we need to know to improve community health.

Freely sharing what we learn from our projects and others is key to our vision of strong, competent and healthy communities everywhere creating opportunities for everyone.
