Knowledge creation and aesthetic development programs for children and the grownups
FOR HOMESCHOOLERS, UN SCHOOLERS, ‘SCHOOLERS’, DROPOUTS, FAILURES, AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN CHILDREN, CREATIVITY, AESTHETIC SENSE, AND KNOWLEDGE CREATION
I wish to offer three exploratory programs to whoever is interested in knowing how natural learning takes place and how to make what is implicitly known explicit.
NO:1
0- TO 5-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN
The first program is ONLINE for parents of 0- to 5-year-old children.
The program is to ensure the awakening of what is inherent in the child. Children are already born with the wherewithal to make sense of the world.
In fact, TO BE THE WORLD!
Parents need to pay total attention to enable this to happen, free from their biases and the market-taught rules. What is required is to awaken their sensitivity and deep respect for life. Don’t apply the knowledge of experts but learn to learn from the child and also awaken your biological instincts of being ‘life’.

NO:2
6- TO 12-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN
Online for children 6 to 12 years with the collaboration of parents.
The program is to explore how to enable children to make EXPLICIT the knowledge they know IMPLICITLY.
An example of this is that children know grammar implicitly which enables them to speak their mother tongue. So, how could this implicit knowledge of grammar be made explicit?
Children’s natural ability is to become aware of the similarity and differences and this is what we could work on to explore how to make this possible.

NO: 3
Live program, 10 days to 2 weeks duration for 13 to 18 years (and ABOVE) to develop finer aesthetic sensibility, and deep sensory connection with their context & enabling them to understand knowledge
creation, experientially. (Without alienating oneself from life in the process unlike the modern schooling system)
The program is meant for anyone interested in pursuing a meaningful life that calls for creativity, and ecological sensitivity and also for the so-called creative disciplines — design, architecture, art, fashion, film, and media, VC, interior, landscape, etc., or taking up meaningful work in any areas that require human beings and not ‘human knowings’ produced by modern education.
This program is open for adults also who might want to understand how without teaching learning can take place. There is no need to have any background in art etc. but openness and trust in their inherent
capabilities. These programs are best for people who are least schooled, dropouts, rebels, and so-called failures.

These programs are open for regular schools for students (from 8th std to 12th) who wish to join any of the so-called creative disciplines — design, architecture, art, fashion, film, media, etc. who will eventually step out of the mainstream hopefully.
The program will be experiential with no input in any theory but during the workshop, the participants themselves will learn how theory gets created. The whole idea is to develop/awaken their aptitude, attitude, abilities, and skills needed to function in a ‘creative’ environment.
This program is open for adults also who might want to understand how without teaching learning can take place. They need not have any background in art etc. but openness and respect for children and trust in their inherent capabilities.
The programs have been developed based on my understanding of knowledge creation and development of aesthetic sense working with rural tribal communities, deep research on how children learn the REAL WORLD autonomously, and also with design and architecture foundation students and based on.
I have developed a very powerful, truly transformative program for first-year foundation students which helps them to awaken and develop creativity, intelligence, aesthetics, compassion, and ecological sensitivity.
