P2P is a combination of eight building blocks that support passions being channeled into projects.
Passion
The driving force behind every remarkable accomplishment in human history is rooted in passion. By embracing passion, learners are encouraged to discover or rediscover their interests, harness their talents, and embark on fulfilling and exciting journeys.
Purpose
Life gains profound meaning through a deep understanding of one’s role and contribution to the world. This approach aims to guide learners in discovering or rediscovering their purpose, motivating them to align their passions with meaningful and transformative intentions.
Play
Learning, experimenting, developing, and nurturing are all rooted in play. Passion fosters an environment where curiosity thrives through experimentation and trial and error, leading to the development of critical and creative thinkers unafraid of challenging the status quo.
Process
Learning benefits most from trial and error, adaptability, and flexibility rather than rigid goals and outcomes. By acknowledging the nonlinear nature of progress, process-based approaches nurture learners as they navigate life’s ambiguities and uncertainties through reflection, refinement, and iteration.
Practice
Growth thrives on regular reflection and refinement. Passion drives this process by engaging learners deeply with their interests, which in turn enhances their technical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional skills. This approach keeps learners deeply motivated and active, resulting in well-rounded skill sets.
Peers
Knowledge is deeply enriched by peer-to-peer interactions. By encouraging discussion and idea-sharing, learners not only improve their cognitive skills but also develop a stronger sense of belonging and collaboration. This approach fosters a more human and empathetic approach to addressing challenges and setbacks.
Positivity
Mental health and well-being are fueled by positivity. By combining mindfulness and self-care practices with passion, this approach promotes mental and emotional health. Acknowledging setbacks as growth opportunities and fostering self-reflection and compassion, equips learners with the tools needed to thrive amidst uncertainty and adversity.
Project
Engaging in personal and meaningful projects helps learners navigate challenges and setbacks, build practical skills, and gain a sense of achievement that positively influences and impacts them and those around.
