What do we do differently?

Our goal is not to introduce a lot of content, but to help participants learn how to learn. The resource persons model their thinking, ask questions, and explore carefully chosen examples. Those who learn how to learn can more easily explore advanced content independently.

Imitation is a natural way to learn. Participants are encouraged to imitate this process by engaging actively—thinking individually and discussing ideas with peers. Active engagement makes learning enjoyable and fruitful.

A wrong answer can be a better starting point for thinking than a correct one. Participants are encouraged to make mistakes; resource persons help them identify and explore possible ways to resolve them.
