Beautiful Mind Learning Labs

At Beautiful Mind, we want to empower and create new approaches to learning internationally that help young people, educators and parents thrive. The principles that drive our work are highlighted below: 1. Nature Inspired We are connected to Nature and Nature is connected to us. Nature is a complex adaptive system of which we are a part. Learning Labs for discovery School is a learning lab powered by discovery: While most institutions focus on the efficiency of knowing, understanding transcends context & empowers children and adults to not just evolve, but become more 'evolvable'. The 10 C's our way of being The Lab is an ecology where we practice being: Conscious, Caring, Curious, Courageous, Calm (in the chaos), Compassionate, Complete, Committed, Connected and Critical to emerge culture. Perceptual neuroscience underpins our experience We seek to expand our understanding of how and why we do what we do through inquiry into Perceptual Neuroscience and Complex Adaptive Systems as these areas are fundamental for learning, living and health. Doing things well This includes both the process and product of learning matter. It’s more than dreaming. Bringing dreams to life requires exercising the process of making to develop entrepreneurial understanding. Wayfinding, wisdom, wellbeing and impact are all connected as we create beautiful work. Real world authenticity Learning is empowered by community and real-world authenticity. This means we don't just learn about life, but we learn to live life by being the scientist, artist, entrepreneur and chef. We are all learners and leaders of learning Leading your own learning, and embracing mistakes with curiosity, is integral to our approach. As our brain is a is a social organ, learning about ourselves, others and the world is relational rather than transactional. We design for impact We impact student outcomes, life and community opportunity and are a role model to be the desired change
