Over the years Learning @ Loka evolved towards a more holistic learning experience that is locally rooted and globally connected.

Starting from the ‘known’ had advantages; it created understanding among teachers and parents as they are part of a journey moving towards something new instead of suddenly being confronted with the unknown. It also resembles the situation most schools would need to evolve from. From this perspective Loka can be seen as a bridge between what is and a possible future for education. This is especially relevant in a world where governments, schools, teachers and parents are increasingly rethinking the way children are being educated. In the near future Loka’s school is slowly moving towards more hands-on minds-on ways of learning, for example through Maker Centered Learning. This involves students becoming more sensitive towards the designed world around them and realising it is malleable and ultimately believing in their capacity to shape that world through building, tinkering, re/designing or hacking. The extensive research done by Project Zero (Harvard graduate School of Education) is a great resource for empowering Loka’s students to shine in their true potential and uplift their surroundings. Through the blog on this website you can follow how the future of Learning at Loka unfolds and how the small scale endeavours of children living in a remote area are connected to addressing bigger issues including climate change, cultural survival, mass migration and technological innovation.
