OpenNI · Developing Natural Intelligence

What if we changed the way we educate?

We were taught to read, to count, to produce and to work. OpenNI offers a new educational system to learn to think, feel, speak and act in a way that cares for ourselves, for others and for all living things. For you, and for your children.

The direction

Moving from the egosystem to the ecosystem

Traditional education mainly prepares us to function within existing systems. OpenNI offers to learn how to understand them, and to take a conscious part in how they evolve.

The egosystem

Me against the world

  • Competition
  • Dependence
  • Consumption
  • Security sought outside oneself
  • Humans separated from nature
The ecosystem

Me within the world

  • Cooperation
  • Autonomy within interdependence
  • Responsibility
  • Care
  • The links between ourselves, others and all living things

OpenNI is an educational system designed to make this shift, at any age.

The brain and the heart

Great intelligence can build, and it can destroy

An ability does not say which direction to use it in. So OpenNI distinguishes the abilities of intelligence from the meaning we give them.

Intelligenceseeks to understand what is.
Loveseeks to care for what is.

The OpenNI definition of loveAn ability to feel, think, say and do what helps take care of the physical, emotional, mental, social and existential health of oneself, of others and of all living things.

The OpenNI structure

Three simple pillars that grow with you

01

The abilities

The natural tools of our intelligence.

observe → understand → choose → design → act → evaluate → integrate

02

The feedback loop

We have an experience, observe, understand, act and learn. Then we start again, richer for it. A mistake is not the opposite of learning. It is information.

03

The meaning

A direction: the health of ourselves, of others and of all living things. It takes shape in 169 virtues, qualities to develop and experience, never rules imposed from outside.

Where to learn

Changing education is not just about changing school

You can learn anywhere: at home, at school, in nature, in a community, online, at work, or on your own. Education becomes a lifelong activity again.

Home education

Rethinking learning at home

Not recreating school at home, but creating an environment where children learn to observe, experiment, cooperate and care.

Microschooling

A small learning ecosystem

A few children of different ages, adults, real projects, nature and relationships. OpenNI helps design these structures.

Nature School

What if nature became the teacher?

Observing a plant, understanding water, growing, building, caring for an animal. Children no longer learn about nature, but with it.

Ourselves · Others · All living things

Your question can be the start of your path.

You don't need to become someone else. You can learn to make better use of who you already are.
