Game Changing Education 

"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand"

~ Confucius, 450 BC

Since 2004 we've pushed the boundaries on conventional education to discover the best ways to teach, inspire and empower social change makers.  Over the years, we've learned a lot about what works and have sought to incorporate these key aspects of successful experiential education into all of our programs. 

Real learning happens through experience. Our program methodology emphasizes learning-by-doing education.  We made the conscious decision to move away from classroom teaching  in favor of practical learning.
