Education

We use the transformative power of human wisdom to cultivate essential life skills and wellbeing.

Supporting learners of all kinds to build a positive narrative for self, seek diverse perspectives and engage in lifelong learning.

At FUEL, we often ask ourselves, "What if learning was not just an educational qualification but rather a way of life?"

Using our award-winning ‘Wisdom-based’ methodology, we design lived experiences of everyday people into meaningful and engaging experiences that extend beyond traditional classrooms. We believe that wisdom is not limited to adults; even children, if given an opportunity, can exhibit profound insights. The main impetus of our work stems from the notion that every person has their own unique insights in life. By creatively integrating life lessons, we facilitate the sharing of ideas and viewpoints, fostering intergenerational learning and sustainable connections among diverse groups.

When the world becomes your classroom, learning never stops!

Here’s what we offer

Meet you at the intersection of wisdom, play & wellbeing.

  • We design tailor-made curriculums and resources. Our innovative modules transform intangible concepts into tangible skills, using play and art to engage learners.

    From menstrual health to gender parity, raising wise children to enabling innovators, supporting youth in conflict zones to educators in schools, our work sparks deep conversations around critical issues and equips learners with life skills they can embody.

    Designed for diverse communities, our culturally responsive curriculums are delivered through in-person facilitation, self-paced online courses, and scalable workshops.

  • Wondering how you can integrate practical wisdom into your institution? We are dedicated to helping leaders, educators and creatives cultivate skills and strategies to do just that!

    By sharing our experiences and thought partnering, we support teams to master the art of teaching the intangible in a tangible way. Through hands-on training, implementation playbooks, and on-going support, you will gain the skills and confidence to develop wise reasoning in yourself and communities you work with.

  • We craft programs and residencies designed for personal and collective development through self-reflection and shared experiences. They offer a unique blend of inspiration, education, connection and growth.

    From blindfolded panel discussions with global educators in Helsinki to intimate gatherings of FUEL Fellows around a bonfire in the Himalayan foothills to shaping ethnographic investigations into a unique book at MIT, we curate unforgettable experiences filled with stories you'll be eager to share with everyone you know.

  • From the United Nations Headquarters to Harvard University, from Google to the ghettos of Europe, and from rural villages to the TED stage, we bring our work to diverse settings. Interested in hosting us? Bring our play-based workshops and talks, tailored for educational institutions, corporations, and various organizations.

    Our sessions blend immersive activities, reflective prompts, and cultural knowledge to create truly powerful first experiences. Get ready for a blend of fun, emotional connections, acceptance, and 'aha!' moments!
