India: Students make the rules in this space for learning in Bengaluru
Interest, aptitude and ability pillars of Project DEFY, movement that redefines education
Bengaluru: Imagine a learning space where there are neither teachers nor students, neither textbooks, nor blackboards, no fixed timetables to follow, nor any boring lecture to endure.
Visualise an environment where there is no race to finish a lesson, no exams to sweat over and no competition to beat, rather a space where the only thing learners have to beat is the ‘fear of failure.’
No, this is not some imaginary idea of learning, this is Project DEFY, a self-learning movement that started in India eight years back, defying all the established norms of education.
Creating ripples among the learners as well as educators, the movement has now grown beyond borders, building learning spaces called ‘nook’ across India, Asia and Africa, providing learning opportunities free of cost.
