R@W Smart Learning
If you see yourself as a creator of your own destiny;
If you feel you have a calling to make the world a better place;
If you want to live off your strengths and interests;
If you dare to create a ripple that carries your dreams to life;
— R@W_Smart Learning for Students (SLS) offers an intensive, extracurricular learning program where you can explore your core values, test your abilities and develop an individually life-smart set of approaches and skills to realize your full potential.
Your formal education is focused on equipping you with the literacy/numeracy and other skills essential for your ‘self-optimization’ and ‘heightened efficiency’—as if you are an element that has to be perfected for the proper functioning of a larger system, like a cog in a huge clockwork device. And how you are prepared and where you will fit within that socio-economic machine is determined by the current market logic.
Pretty depressing, isn’t it, if you have to think about yourself as an object in a soulless production/consumption mechanism?
R@W says: ‘It shouldn’t be like this.’
Join the R@W Smart Learning for Students course to change that.
The R@W course is an investigative group project that is semester-long.
With each new season, a new topic is chosen for an investigative project or, if decided by the participants, the previous project may be extended to the next season.
If you’re interested, you can continue attending R@W_SL for four years, testing yourself in different projects, working with different groups of people, building a stronger personal repertoire of individual knowledge and skills, generating a richer portfolio for your future enrollments – maybe even establishing your own start-up based on what you’ve learned in R@W_SL.
The R@W_SLS course is delivered in virtual two-hour weekly group meetings–Thursday Studio, plus four hours of individual work during the intervening weeks.
The course reflects the nature of global networking and students may collaborate with group members and other participants from around the world. English is the language of the course. Therefore, students are required to be able to communicate fluently in English.
