Meridian promotes a collaborative approach to learning. Students are encouraged to collaborate in their learning process in ways that are appropriate and supportive to the transformative intent of the curriculum. Transformative learning requires that we engage in transformative practices. Practice groups are an effective way to cultivate and sustain our transformative practices. The cognitive work of studying together and sharing writing may also be seen as a transformative practice.There is much to be gained by informal, spontaneous, and heartfelt explorations. The friendships and community that develop from these explorations are significant elements of transformative learning. It is also important to note that study and practice groups are initiated by students. These and other social events initiated by students are not Meridian University events, are not considered part of Meridian’s programming, and as such participation is not required.
