[MTC Global] Ask Big Questions @ SOLE: Self-Organized Learning Environment

Dear All,

Inclusive, high-quality education and lifelong learning is one of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations to transform the global civilization.

• Being agile and continuously learning means staying relevant.
• We must each address this massive transformation to create our future and that of future generations.
• Keep moving forward.: Learn, unlearn, and relearn. Be proactive and agile, embrace technology, and create new experiences for all.

Education innovator Sugata Mitra shows a simple method known as a SOLE session. SOLE stands for Self-Organized Learning Environment,

• Step 1: Set aside an hour to recharge your curiosity.
• Step 2: To come up with a question, think big — really big.
• Step 3: Agree to disagree. Step 4: Draw on the wisdom of the crowd.
• Step 5: Repeat as needed.

Big Questions are those that inspire students to explore all possibilities – there should be no easy answer! Here's a selection from the global SOLE community to get you started – feel free to suggest yours to be included.

• You can also find a list of sample questions here.

• Mitra recently ran a SOLE for school principals in Hong Kong and their question was, What is the future of exams?

A SOLE is a safe space to practice what management expert Margaret Heffernan calls "constructive conflict."

Warm regards,

G.S.Autee
