Fundacion SOLE Colombia

Our purpose is to design the future of education in Colombia. Our passion is to connect education, technology and rural Colombia. We do it through SOLE (Self-Organised Learning Environments). SOLE is a disruptive education methodology that empowers communities to develop autonomy, collaboration, deep learning, and most important of all, to solve real-life problems! A SOLE session is simple, all you need is a room with people, a few computers with internet access and Big Questions. In a SOLE people self-organize to find answers to questions without a teacher. In this intellectual adventure, learning emerges from the participants' interest. Our goals are: 1. Scale SOLE to the most the communities who need it the most, be it in the formal public education or in vulnerable communities throughout Colombia. 2. Build and nurture a SOLE Colombia Community 3. Design and implement replicable experiments to bring SOLE to the largest number of people making use of new technologies in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner. 4. In the following 5 years our goal is to empower 2 million people in rural communities affected by the armed conflict through SOLE.
