Hi, I had been thinking about this since I saw the mission and had decided to just let something drift my way. Yesterday Jean Russell, another Edgeryder, posted a link to a post about building a school for Superheroes, a kind of environment where learning/education/entrepreneurship overlap:
" A live/work campus with elements of a university, Plato’s Academy, an ashram and a monastery. A place to feed your mind, body and soul.Where people express what their humanity means to them through art, technology, music, experiential learning, sustainable practices, aesthetics, and togetherness.An action-orientation of prototyping, experimenting, risk-taking, rapidly iterating, and propagating what works. Incubating startups and projects. A collaboratory to bootstrap local and regional solutions to our most pressing ‘wicked problems.’"
"For instance, the Hub could have a presence there, COMMON could launch some socially conscious enterprises there, Open Source Ecology might build some equipment there, and a hacker collective could run a bootcamp there. There could be programs for teaching children to code, mentorships with high school students to guide them from idea incubation to entrepreneurship, and events around any number of topics, like arts and culture, technology, business, sustainability, or spirituality.She found hundreds of existing examples of these types of spaces around the world. Below I've posted the ones based in Europe."
