Connecting youth around the world to each other and to their purpose.
We’re building an enduring educational institution that affirms and advances the oneness of humanity, through empowerment studios for youth, processes of learning for educators, discourse facilitated in communities, and learning practised in public.
In communities the world over, young people build their powers of perception and expression, sharing what they witness far and wide.
The studios →Alongside the studios, educators build their capacities for personal growth and the betterment of their communities.
For educators →As an organization, we follow the same process of learning experienced by the youth and educators we work alongside.

For us learning is a mode of operation. And it consists of four complementary elements: study, action, reflection on action, and consultation.
We seek always to read our reality. We make use of the knowledge that's been generated about a given topic. We think historically. And we put it all together to understand.
We apply our understanding in community with our coworkers and partners.
We take stock of what we did, how we did it, and document the insights that emerged as a result of our efforts.
Throughout our study, action, and reflection, we engage in a deliberative dialogue with one another, the focus of which is the investigation of truth.
We ask three questions of our work: how much did we spend, how much did we do, and how much did it matter. We build a logic model for every programme and set aside nine percent of programme funds to learn about our impact. Learn more →
