The aim of the project is to disseminate the concept of collective self-directed learning to a wider audience. The concept describes a non-formal process of education which is organized collectively and which is tailored to the needs and interests of members of the local community. The project started off by getting to know the organization and its customs, as well as becoming an overview of the plethora of auto-didactic methods. The main mission is to initiate a dialog about self-directed learning with the local residents, in order to map out their educational needs in the context of mutual self-education. For this purpose simple interviews and polls are being conducted. After that, the residents are invited to the organisation to share their experiences according to the results of the research. We hope to motivate people to pursue studying and developing their interests, in a consistently manner, together in the symbiotic environment of the organisation. The project is seen as a social experiment for the sake of catalyzing a movement towards a truly all-inclusive educational landscape.
