Our why

Our world is changing, fast. The technological development makes it hard to even imagine what our children will work with 20-30 years from now. Still most schools stay the same. And even though there’s extensive research on how we function as human beings, about what makes us happy and motivated, both teachers and children are struggling and mental health issues among young are increasing. 

 It is time for a school that is based on human needs and holistic human development. Social emotional development as well as cognitive. Individualised learning processes based on internal motivation, self-leadership and self-paced mastery learning. And teachers / learning guides that are aware of the importance of close relationships, autonomy and joy in the process of learning.

And it is time for a school that recognises that standardised processes directed towards a “non-standard” world is not rational, no matter how accustomed we have become to them. The complexity in the world requires flexibility, creativity and co-creation, by reflective, open-minded and responsible people.

We firmly believe that the industrial paradigm which schools are built upon today has passed it’s expiration date, and that it’s time to look towards the new paradigm that is emerging. The industrial paradigm is production-oriented, and humans are basically seen as resources in a huge machine. The emerging paradigm is human-oriented, and the organisations are seen as living organisms, sensing their surroundings and needs, and adapting fast and painlessly.

This paradigm is called Teal.
