Knowmads in 3 minutes
WE ARE..
a platform and school for people who want to make a positive difference in this world.
What is a Knowmad?
A knowmad is a nomadic knowledge worker –that is, a creative, imaginative, and innovative person who can work with almost anybody, anytime, and anywhere.
- Free after John Moravec
Team learning
Our program is based on action learning in a team setting. A team is a group of international students that start and end their year together.
Costs
The tuition fee for one year is 4500 euro.
Program
Our program is based on four questions:
- Who am I and what do I want to do?
- What do I want to learn/ develop in order to reach that?
- How can I contribute to our world?
- How do I get my ideas into the world?
Our program is implemented by Knowmads staff, and by the lecturers that we invite in. Our lecturers are always experts in their field. Our program has a few basic workshops and tools that we offer; the other workshops support the assignments or group process at that moment.
Partners & assigments
Throughout the year students work on assignments for our partners. The students form a cooperative together: Knowmads U.A, which they use as the legal vehicle to earn money with the assignments.
Knowmads staff bring four assignments in per year. We work on assignments together with the partner and/or one of their employees. After the pitch the students create a working plan and add a quote to it.
Once accepted by the partner, the tribe starts working, coached by the staff. The aim is to create a win-win-win situation, for the students, for the partner and for society.
Coaching and start-ups
Besides the program, we stimulate our students to work on their own projects and businesses. Every student is coached by someone from our network throughout the year at Knowmads.
After the one-year program there is an opportunity to go on an international quest together for what we call the “Outpost”. Alternatively you can stay at school to start your dream business coached by Knowmads staff.
Knowmads is much more than a school. It is a platform for entrepreneurs who want to make a difference in this world.
