Learning as a Living System: Montessori Bali x Planetary Self x UNESCO
Cultivating Intelligence for the Next Era
As the world transforms through climate shifts and technological revolutions, education must transform with it. In collaboration with Montessori School Bali and UNESCO, Planetary Self is co-creating a future-focused educational vision rooted in the intelligence of place, people, and possibility.
This initiative asks:
How do we raise children not just to understand complexity, but to engage it with care and clarity?
In Bali—a land steeped in ancestral knowledge and intercultural flow—we explore how local wisdom and global insight can converge to build ecosystems of learning. Together with educators, AI ethicists, adolescent psychologists, and systems designers, we are shaping a space where education is not merely a curriculum, but a living field of practice.
Through this work, we reframe data not as a metric—but as a compass for more inclusive, intelligent futures. A future where learning is collaborative, intergenerational, and planetary in scale.
This is an invitation to meet the moment—together.
