The game in the world project that Julie Dankovich created in Landmark Education’s Team, Management and Leadership Program is ‘A Course in Prosperity’, which empowers herself and others to have unexpected results in the area of money. Through the project, the Detroit native shared with others what she dealt with in her finances when she was jobless single mother after her divorce.
Through Gale Holmlund’s participation in Landmark Education’s Team Management and Leadership Program, she designed a Game in the World where she has been able to create a new model for education in an “urban suburban” community, just outside the inner city of Chicago.
Can you imagine what the world would be like if there were high schools where the students were treated as equal members, as part of a team, involved in creating remarkable futures for themselves? Where, when a student is confronted and reacts, there is no repercussion, no disciplinary action, no principals called?

The Change 4 A Buck team researches different grass roots projects making a tangible difference in a variety of different areas, and gives people the chance to choose from a range of options where their dollar a month goes, and gives people tools to create teams and spread the word so that a huge number of people are giving. Marks says that before taking part in Landmark Education’s TMLP, he was resigned about being able to truly make a global difference. Check out Change 4 A Buck and watch the video below.
The game created by Fanny Veliz as her project in Landmark Education’s Team, Management and Leadership Program is titled ‘Homebound’, which is the name of her upcoming feature film about Latinos in America.

In Landmark’s Team, Management and Leadership Program, Mercersberg, Pennsylvania doctor Elizabeth George created a project to inspire others to live healthy lives.
George relates that she had little success trying to fight obesity by convincing and controlling her patients, so she instead created MACWell to get her whole town involved in promoting healthy living. Soon teens had created a fitness trail and farmer’s market, and town leaders joined her to help create business wellness programs and healthier school lunches, and a monthly radio show.
