Our Memorandum

If the current pace of change in our world continues, and we believe it will only continue to accelerate, we will need a dynamic education and learning agenda that is responsive to technological advancements and fits the demands of a changing economic landscape and workforce needs.

@UNESCO: “ Education needs to change fundamentally to meet global development goals “

Our workforce does not reflect society — — it probably never did, but the gap is widening at a faster pace than ever and our education systems are not able to keep up. Many adults and kids of all ages are feeling lost in mass-educational structures designed decades ago for the Industrial Age. The rapidly shortening half-life of acquired skills and the growing need for personalized education are just some of the global challenges the world of Education is facing.

Our world needs to develop creators rather than consumers from a very young age, as the future of humanity depends on adaptability, positive impact, creative thinking and problem-solving skills more than ever before. Robotics and artificial intelligence will continue to replace humans in the most repetitive and dangerous tasks. But with the task at hand to redesign our world for sustainability and better living environments, there are millions of jobs to be done! Human Development in a Tech World is more important than ever before. More of us will need to create our own jobs and income and depend less on long-term careers. This requires a change of mindset for many to thrive rather than survive.

Anyone with an interest in creating new ways of delivering Education and Learning of any type to anyone, anywhere is invited to participate.

You are always also invited to join and contribute in our free online community activities.

Motivation Factors of Participation in Virtual Communities of Practice

Community with a strong sense of belonging

"When a community is just
like an awesome tribe"

Community members who choose to spend some of their spare time, often into the late hours, on rethinking who we always thought about education, learning, teaching and much more, are obviously driven by the idea, that there ARE other ways to get to live the life you desire -without having to go through a fixed curriculum for 10-12 years, then perhaps complete a higher-ed program, then get on-the-job-experience and THEN find your personal sweet spot that combines your interests and talents with the opportunity to earn a living.

The community teams celebrate also it's small victories and since only few of us ever met in-person, all of this has been happening entirely online since 2018. When Covid closed down the world, obviously everything moved online. Our teams continued their innovation work even when facing the personal challenges of lock-downs and the disruptions of our lives that came with that.

Learner-Controlled Process

Education is an active process, controlled by the learner, who uses other people as models and prime reference material.

From One Teacher-Many Students to One Students-Many Teachers

The person who can best help you break down a challenging problem or an important subject (when you most need it), may not necessarily be based in your own school district. We felt it was time to quit the paradigm of school districts. And while we are at it, we prefer "Guides-on-the-Side" rather than "Sage-on-the-Stage". How about you? You can have both, the best of all worlds, in all time zones if you like!

"Intelligence-of-the-Crowd"

Crowds are not always super intelligent the way we all hope for. But in a global and diverse community, focused on building a much better future, you get to select the crowd that can boost your ideation or your implementation - and you get so many powerful perspectives you never thought possible. Never be alone on your learning path again!

We vote for Collaboration & Collective Intelligence rather than Competition & Individualism

From Location to Environment

Class rooms may work for you. When that's what you need, go ahead and book one. But often, you may find a more suitable learning or working environment for the activity you have chosen to focus on somewhere else. A world of better environments is awaiting you when you are ready for it.

Go find your favourite environment, your borderless, participatory culture, and share it with your community friends. You will hopefully invite us to join us as well, for your planned learning or growth activity.

Peer-Reviews Over Professor Grading

Peers are invested in the same process you are going through, so they are most willing to take risk on an idea, give it a chance. You are not being compared with others, you are on a unique journey. But Professor Grading is around for you as well when you want it!

Making People RE Markable

Rather than making people Markable!

How You are Smart

Rather than how smart you are

Empowered by our Different Abilities

Rather than limited by our Disabilities

Doing the RIGHT THING next

Rather than doing the NEXT THING right.

Motivation Driven Pulls

Rather than regulated curriculum PUSH

Who, Not Where

It's not Where you work.

It's WHO you work with that make the job or professional activity worth pursuing every day.

Research Paper

SELF-ACTUALIZATION IN MODERN PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

The array of verticals that are opening from the convergence of technology offer new and important jobs but it also means that existing jobs are redefined continuously. A rapidly changing professional world makes it tempting to shy away from challenges that lead to personal growth. But what if embracing these challenges could unlock your true potential for self-actualization?

Some really smart people - Maslow, Rogers, and Epstein - have made it their mission to research how we can be the best version of ourselves.

In our study, we're exploring the barriers and enablers that professionals face in actively engaging in behaviors that we have identified from literature to be helpful towards growth. We believe that by understanding these barriers, we can design effective solutions that better cater to our innate needs to grow.

Join us in our questionnaire to contribute to the collective knowledge and shape interventions that make a real difference. Let's bridge the gap between theory and practice and unlock the opportunities for growth in modern professional practice.
