As a network of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs, Ashoka has intimately explored how an entrepreneurial mindset can unlock solutions to the world’s most pressing problems.
Across over 75 countries, and dozens of sectors, social entrepreneurs in Ashoka’s Fellowship network have been undaunted by how complex or unsolvable a problem may appear to be, instead turning challenges into opportunities. They create sustainable solutions for the communities they are rooted within and find creative ways to ensure their impact spreads regionally, and even globally, to become new, widespread norms.
The following report is an invitation to join Ashoka and the LEGO Foundation in building a network to Re-imagine Learning. Based on the work of leading social-entrepreneurs, the report highlights eight common innovation patterns utilized across seventeen countries around the world, and tells the stories of how these social entrepreneurs are creating widespread impact through these shared approaches, even in disparate contexts.
Moreover, by reading this piece of knowledge, you will explore four design principles:
-
Everyone an imagineer – providing creative learning experiences for teachers, parents, working professions, and others that empower them to drive change in any part of the learning ecosystem
-
A world of possibilities – creating cost-effective methods that infuse a school with habits, language, and materials needed for learning through play ecosystem.
-
Better together – creating peer-to-peer learning and support for teachers, parents, expecting mothers, and more that enables them to transform learning.
-
Wired for learning – giving children a voice and cultivating agency through experiential learning, project-based learning, and civic engagement.
