The Purpose of the Lionsberg Learning System is to enable holistic, lifelong learning that nurtures intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual development through Quest Based Learning. It encourages critical thinking, creativity, and love, equipping and empowering individuals to contribute positively to their communities and the world.
In our shared journey towards our destiny, we, the citizens of Lionsberg, recognize that our collective and individual progress hinges on our capacity to learn, grow, and evolve. It is with this understanding that we establish the Lionsberg Learning System. This system aims to nurture a culture of lifelong learning and foster the capacity of all individuals and communities to contribute meaningfully to our society and our collective journey.
The Lionsberg Learning System is guided by the principles of Access, Diversity, Relevance, Flexibility, and Lifelong Learning. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, that learning should reflect the diverse needs and aspirations of our citizens, that it should be relevant to our societal goals and personal life paths and quests, that it should be flexible to accommodate different learning styles and life circumstances, and that it should be a lifelong endeavor.
The Lionsberg Learning System provides a wide range of learning opportunities, from formal education at various levels (early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary) to informal and non-formal learning opportunities in various contexts (workplace, community, home, and digital). It covers diverse areas of learning, including but not limited to literacy, numeracy, sciences, arts, citizenship, health, environment, vocational skills, personal development, and spiritual growth.
The Lionsberg Learning System strives to ensure that all citizens, regardless of their background, circumstances, or abilities, have equal access to high quality learning opportunities that enable to develop towards their unique potential in a positive and meaningful way.
The Lionsberg Learning System adopts a learner-centered approach, recognizing that each learner is unique and that learning is most effective when it is responsive to individual needs, interests, quests, and learning styles. It encourages active participation, creativity, critical thinking, and independent learning.
The Lionsberg Learning System emphasizes learning for regenerativity. It equips learners with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values needed to contribute to a regenerative future in which all aspects help all aspects rise towards their potential, including understanding of our interconnected world, respect for cultural and biological diversity, commitment to socioeconomic justice, human rights, and the rights of Nature, and capacity for collaborative problem-solving and transformative action in service of Life.
The Lionsberg Learning System fosters learning for active and engaged citizenship. It encourages learners to engage in civic processes, to understand and respect different perspectives, to contribute to community wellbeing, development, and governance, while upholding the guiding Spirit, Wisdom, Principles, and Values of the Lionsberg System.
The Lionsberg Learning System promotes lifelong learning. It supports learning at all stages of life and in various contexts, recognizing that learning is not confined to the years of formal schooling but is a continuous process of personal and social development. It prioritizes liberating children and families from the constraints of formal and top down structures, empowering them to engage in locally appropriate, contextually relevant, and deeply meaningful processes of lifelong learning and transformation.
Through the Lionsberg Learning System, we seek to empower all citizens with the capacity to learn, grow, and contribute to our collective journey towards our Destiny, while ensuring that all Citizens are helping one another develop towards the fullness of their unique potential and flourish in harmony.
