... Horizon Details Message from the President by Christian Itin It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) Experiential education is inspired by great hope. It rests on a set of principles that speak to an active and participatory educational experience aimed at fostering a learning of engaged experimentation, critical reflection, and application. Great results are often achieved in programs built on the philosophy of experiential education. The Association for Experiential Education has as a major part of its mission the promotion of the experiential education worldwide. In this promotion there is a collective hope that we might inspire hope in other educators, human service workers, organizational consultants, and other change agents. In AEE's Strategic Plan, a major component was the development of a marketing and advocacy plan (MAP). The strategic plan saw the MAP as critical for both AEE as an organization and experiential education as a philosophy of educational reform. Promoting the association and experiential education were outlined as critical tasks during the next five years (we are currently in year two). In mid-May, the leadership of the Association will be meeting in Denver as part of our annual leadership summit. This event will focus heavily on the MAP. The organization has begun work with Dev Pathik, an organizational member, on developing a marketing strategy. He will be working with the Regions, Professional Groups, Board, and Staff to further develop this plan and explore further ways to promote the association and experiential education.

There is a growing need in the United States for childcare and elder care in private homes and at centers. Some employers are making a collaborative effort to provide dependent care for their employees by establishing centers or expanding existing ones.
The demand for a dependent care career should increase in the future as the baby boom generation ages and assumes the responsibility of providing care for their elderly parents and as more young mothers pursue employment outside the home. Job opportunities for this degree include employment in retirement communities, adult day care centers, senior centers, adult congregate living facilities, employer and community childcare facilities, and in individual homes.

GLICKMAN AWARDS $6 MILLION IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS WASHINGTON, Oct. 11, 2000 Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman today announced $6 million in grants to encourage housing, community facilities and economic development in low-income rural communities. "These grants will help rural communities help themselves," said Glickman. "They will help provide the training and technical assistance essential to improving rural economies." USDA's Rural Community Development Initiative provides funds to help private, nonprofit, community-based development organizations and low-income communities improve their ability to develop rural housing and community facilities and to improve economic growth. Recipients were required to obtain matching funds, doubling the value of the USDA grants. Grant recipients will provide training and technical assistance to eligible nonprofit community-development organizations and low-income communities located in rural areas with populations of 50,000 or less. Technical assistance includes: setting up homeownership education programs; supporting micro-enterprises, cooperatives and sustainable development; and providing training to develop strategic plans, hire staff and oversee board operations and management. A list of grantees follows.
