curriculum development

Educational institutions, from kindergarten to university level, have a great role to play in contributing to a better world. Besides the family setting, where character and attitudes are developed, it is within a school setting where the hearts and minds of young people are shaped.

Soul.com is dedicated to raising young people who foster a true global outlook and see themselves as agents of change in building a better future for themselves and others. To make this possible, soul.com is partnering with educational institutions that share this same vision.

Crucial part of unlocking the potential of youth is to challenge their assumptions related to many social and economic activities in society. These assumptions relate for example to competition between people instead of cooperation, the making of a career versus living a life of service, gender roles and power dynamics, racial inequity, or role of business in society. We have seen that such assumptions, when remain unchallenged, prevent youth from becoming a constructive force of change in society.

Soul.com is developing materials for university students that engages them in a rigorous exploration of these concepts. These courses can also be counted as part of their official studies.

how does it work?

In consultation with the school or university, themes are identified for curriculum development. These materials are subsequently taught to a pilot group of students, in close collaboration with one or more teachers at the university. All materials are based on an action-based learning approach, where students are encouraged to take action in between the learning sessions. Once the educational materials are refined and completed, teachers can be trained to facilitate the materials themselves.
