The SMRN Exploratory Team will address the first CASE Learning for public square discourse in problem solving.

The Case: Revolts/Protests in Violence.
This is a PROACTIVE way to bring leadership, innovation, reform and problem solving to the public square table for the BP, State Fair, Mayfair and Bayshore incidents. CASE Learning approach is the brainchild of Mary Glass.

The members of the SMRN Exploratory Team, of which Banks, Methu and Mwepu are now members, will look at CASE data-situations, strategies, mindsets and opportunities for the BIG PICTURE along with others in the group that are youth-teens-young adults, older adults, sponsors and practitioners the next two months.
