This project began twenty four years ago. I was six…
“When I grow up I want to have a laboratory with my friends so we can be the first to learn things.”
Friendship, discovery and creation are one. Love and learning are the same. My life is learning, learning is life.
It doesn’t matter what I do as long as it’s in the spirit of creation and discovery. That’s all that matters.
But the need to continuously discover and create is something that conventional education and careers can’t address.
School teaches us how to be taught, not how to discover and create.
So what’s the most effective way to organize a truly ‘creative education’?
That’s the problem Open Conceptual is intended to address.
Developing a truly ‘creative education’ might be impossible, but that isn’t what really matters.
What really matters is that by trying to develop a truly creative education, we keep the love of learning alive.
In other words, the process of trying to develop a truly creative education is the most truly creative education.
There’s no formula for it. There’s only a name — Open Conceptual — and one rule: keep the love of learning alive.
If you have the same purpose and dream as I have, get in touch.
Discovering where creative thinking leads isn’t easy. It’s better to do it
with friends.
To be continued…

That’s from the “Story” box on the latest iteration of the Open Conceptual homepage. Easy on the eyes, if I can say so myself. Only on one page this time. Nothing fancy. I trimmed the essay selections and summaries, and I finally managed to format my blog feed the way I want it.
