Opportunities for Inquiry and Dialogue - Case Study

A case study is an analysis of persons, events, and decisions that are studied holistically. While it does not need to be conducted at the site of the incident, it could include a visit to the incident location. Case studies are used to demonstrate a thesis or principle. They are usually led and require facilitation.

By Endurance We Conquer

Ernest Shackleton and his Antarctic expedition has been a study within the WFLDP since its formation. After 107 years, Shackleton's lost ship "Endurance" was found at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, renewing excitement for the leadership story. I encourage you to learn about (or better yet, share your knowledge of) the expedition.

We have started a list of resources you can use to conduct a case study of the expedition and one of the most powerful stories of resilience on record. We challenge you to share your resources in the comments.
