The i5 is the largest project under the roof of the PRME. It builds on research by the LEGO Foundation that finds learning most effective when applying the five characteristics of personal meaningfulness, active engagement, iteration, social engagement and joyfulness. The purpose of the PRME i5 project is to transfer and apply these practices of effective playful learning into the domain of business schools in order to create an impactful pedagogy for responsible management that is also applicable to other business domains and divisions. The PRME i5 framework was initially developed in 2022 and was launched publicly in summer 2023. Since then, PRME undertook various activities to roll out the i5 framework and build a community of practice. At the same time, the i5 framework has faced some criticism for its limited integration of various existing responsible leadership pedagogies, and for its seemingly limited specificity to the responsible leadership theme more generally. In this caucus, we aim to convene people who are interested in furthering creative pedagogy and praxis for responsible management education by not only applying it in their teaching, but also developing the i5 framework and clarifying the connections to other existing pedagogies and by articulating to their own experiences.
