Re-imagine, Re-invent and Re-think Learning
Every once in a while, you find that you’ll learn something amazingly brilliant or eye-opening from the most unexpected source. There are lessons waiting for us everywhere, as long as we are open to the idea of learning from everyone and everything. It all begins with perspective, and with a learning and growth mindset.
Learning does not always happen with a structured curriculum and within the four walls of our classrooms. Learning happens every waking minute of our lives. It's a constant and continuous process that happens anywhere and everywhere. As learners, the world is our canvas, where we can explore and discover all kinds of ideas - a place for observations and curiosities. The learning that we complete at the beginning of our careers no longer defines us. It's not about what you have learned, it's about being proactive as learners and how we continue to learn and grow.
We Are All Learners
Let us empower ourselves and young people to construct our own learning and live successfully in the world that surrounds us. Organizations, educators and mentors should encourage people to learn from their families, communities and the world at large. Learning outdoors and in our communities, assists in collaborating, making connections and combining our knowledge into real world application. By continually learning, we allow ourselves the opportunities to become problem solvers who discover meaningful connections between what we learn from the world around us.
Learning on our own is extremely important but it doesn't stop there. The value of education is in spreading it around and using what we know to educate, inspire and transform others. Learning from our community and our world is an important supplement to formal education. It is more than required, in our changing world to continually seek new knowledge, update beliefs and embrace learning opportunities whenever possible
