Wonder:Education Reimagined presents
Many of today’s economic stories seem natural, inevitable—even reassuring. Yet beneath the promises of economic growth, efficiency, success and convenience, they quietly confine us in a velvet cage: a system that feels safe while producing widening inequality, ecological disaster, and collective paralysis.
DISRUPT helps us see the cage we are in.
This course helps you gain Critical Economic Literacy—the ability to recognize the economic ideas shaping our lives and world, question what has become invisible, and imagine alternatives. From that clarity, we begin to practice an Economics of Hope, grounded in regeneration and shared flourishing.
Step out of the cage. Join a growing community of DISRUPTors and regain hope - working collaboratively to bring about change!
DISRUPT is an 8-week, college-level course requiring about 3 hours per week, culminating in a capstone project.
Founder, With Intent Education
In a world where information is at the touch of a screen, I believe that educators' role is not to provide answers, but to create the conditions where students can notice more, question more and make sense of the world around them, so they feel empowered and motivated to act ethically and responsibly within it.
This course has strengthened my belief that we need to be doing more to cultivate the habits of thinking that help students notice the systems shaping our world and feel confident questioning them and reimagining them. For me. this is what teaching FOR global citizenship is about.
This is much closer to the kind of learning that feels meaningful and worth engaging with than how I have previously viewed economics as a subject.

For teachers seeking to understand the economic forces shaping our world, this is an outstanding starting point. The course introduces the key concepts in Economics in a meaningful way and also provides a methodology for critically analysing political discourse around the most prevalent economic ideas of our times.
The structure of the course flows smoothly with ideas presented chronologically through a variety of media which stimulate and engage learners and provide the basis for discussions.
I found this the most thought-provoking and enjoyable professional learning I have done in at least the last 5 years and would highly recommend it to all.
