OUR VISION
as a list in no particular order
Our project aligns with UNESCO's Futures of Education report
which advocates the re-purposing of education to address BIG issues.
micro-local universities....
- ...academia should become a network of micro-local universities...
- ...they would be tiny, diverse, post-disciplinary & innovative...
- ...grassroots organisations developing better ways to live...
with an autodidactic approach...
- ...an unschool approach would encourage bespoke learning for all
- ...learners would learn to learn more playfully, imaginatively & autonomously.
- ...each individual would learn how to become more independent, resourceful and creative.
that brokers complementary learning...
- ...micro-universities would broker creative learning partnerships...
- ...in order to catalyse our collective response to global emergencies...
- ...they would raise global consciousness and seed a synergy of synergies
in a ...
- ...students would experience a range of learning approaches.
- ...e.g. they would seek to learn with head, hand, heart and humour
- ...our Self Evaluating Learning Framework helps learners to map the process...
paradigm change
- ...their contagious optimism would spread, diversify and co-evolve...
- ...this would help us transition towards an ecocentric paradigm...
- ...they would become a collaborative network for ecological wisdom.
...no fixed curriculum
- ...coaching would be tailored to each individual learner's aspirations & needs
- ...learners might adapt our rudimentary working definition of shamanism.
- ...learners would contribute what they know to a shared curriculum
harnessing team neurodiversities
- ...ideally, mutual learning partnerships would be expected to innovate on behalf of society.
- ...learners would work in self-governing, neurodiverse teams (4 to 6 individuals).
- ...knowledge exchange would also be generative, reciprocal and sympoietic.
microscopias and macroscopias
- ...formal teaching would reconcile the universal (time/space) with celebrating the 'here and now'.
- ...this would create a relaxed space (1 billion years of free sunshine) in which to reimagine survival.
- ...see our long-termist map including the microscopias and macroscopias
affordable
- ...the programme would not be subject to fees or monetary repayment.
- ...instead, learners would be contracted to supporting future learners.
- ...some of the first learner cohort may be refugees from other places.
