Welcome to Educasting

Educasting is a service of the Mainstream Media Project that extends the life and reach of MMP’s internationally syndicated radio program, A World of Possibilities (www.aworldofpossibilities.com) by re-purposing selected series following their initial broadcast for use as long-term audio educational and movement-building resources. Each series is accompanied by a highly interactive resource/study guide that not only reviews the material but teaches the skills essential to innovation – creative problem-solving, collaborative design, entrepreneurial initiative and strategic thinking.
