Learning 21st century life skills in an experiential way, from the everyday spaces around us.
Does today's education help a child grow into a self sufficient, sensitive and responsible adult? Too often, no. Life School sets out to teach the 21st century skills that exam driven schooling leaves out.
Life School treats everyday spaces as classrooms, building essential life skills through experience rather than rote. The aim is a young person who thinks critically, participates actively, and develops a compassionate and empathetic personality, the qualities that make a capable citizen rather than just a holder of certificates.
It complements the lab's other education models, the Museum School and the Virtual Museum School, by focusing on the human and behavioural side of learning.
Turns city museums into schools and their exhibits into teaching aids, with B.Ed. trainees as teachers, giving slum children world class education at almost no extra cost.
Turns a classroom into a 3D theatre and a lesson into a 3D film, giving every child a personal teacher and exhibits that pop off the screen, anywhere in the world.
An on field finishing school that grows teamwork, leadership and compassion in young people through social work, shaping them into responsible, capable citizens.
Whether you bring funds, a fresh idea, or an unsolved problem from the community you serve, there is a way in.
