Pedagogical approach

Transformation and emancipation

/inspired by Marina Garcés

We understand learning not only as a mechanism for acquiring useful knowledge and skills, but also as a process of transformation.

A process that helps us think for ourselves, together with others, about the challenges of our time and collectively imagine new possible worlds.

Deep questions for non-immediate answers

/inspired by Daniel Wahl

Questions are the common thread running through our learning journeys.

We believe it is crucial to devote time to asking profound questions that can lead to profound changes.

We create spaces to experience questions collectively.

The common root of thinking and doing

/inspired by Isabel Rimanoczy

Seeking the common ground between the rational and the experiential, we drew inspiration from the 10 principles of Reflective Action Learning:

Relevance
Tacit knowledge
Reflection
Self-awareness
Collective learning
Paradigm shift
Systems thinking
Integration
Repetition and reinforcement
Facilitation of learning

Art for sentient beings

/inspired by Bruno Latour

Faced with today’s challenges, science gives us the data and art helps us feel it.

Art has the enormous power to move us, to transform consciousness and spur us to action.

It mobilizes us through denunciation and the creation of desirable imaginaries, and it draws hope and connection.
