Biophilia - the "passionate love of life and all that is alive...
whether in a person, a plant, an idea, or a social group."
- Eric Fromm
To inspire and empower learners and educators so that together we can build a more sustainable and equitable world where everyone is valued for their unique talents.
1. DVLS Curriculum & DVQ Assessment Framework
2. Biophilic Education (BE) Mentor Development training courses
3. Opportunities for collaborations and educational research & development.
4. BE Learning Hubs and Schools
Education should be fun and empower all learners to explore a life-long journey of curiosity and exploration. We should aim for a system where all learners can grow in confidence and flourish.
People have a vast range of interests and abilities and the world needs everyone, to be the best they can be, to sustain a good life and enrich our global community.
To create a sustainable existence we need to build healthy relationships with ourselves, others, the things we use and our planet.
We have formed an alliance with a select group of global schools to pilot our DVLS Curriculum as part of our pre-launch development. Get in contact if you are a school, home ed hub or a teacher that would like to find out more about delivering our content.
We have a small BE Hub south of Cambridge, UK for 11 - 16 year old home ed students.
We aim to build a lighthouse BE School to demonstrate what an outstanding school of the future could look like, to affect positive systemic change.
We are creating a new way of delivering the standard UK curriculum through transdisciplinary project-based learning and a new skills-based assessment framework.
We are working with universities to research the efficacy of our pedagogy and curriculum, for continuous refinement and development.
The future vision is for our Da Vinci Life Skills project pathways and 5 DVQs (Da Vinci Qualifications) to be delivered, or inspire teaching, in all schools and home ed learning hubs.
Community and collaboration are at the heart of our philosophy. We are working with local businesses to create real-world projects and apprenticeships.
Our community centre vision for schools of the future is to develop artisan workshops, co-work spaces and a cafe/shop, to blend learning with enterprise and initiative.
We encourage families to connect at school family breakfasts, a student run farmers market and a local Community Supported Agriculture scheme (CSA).
