Plexlearning: Co-learning, Co-adopting, Co-creating
The Education for Development and Support Network (EDSN) is an association of Lifestyle Entrepreneurial Academies and Neighborhood Plexlearning Centers. Plexlearning advances entrepreneurial agency through continuous co-learning, co-adopting, and co-creating among human and non-human technological agents. EDSN leverages Plexlearning to integrate academic rigor, meaningful vocations, entrepreneurial philanthropy, accountable governance, and affordances from religion, business, science, and technology in cultivating mindfulness-centered Research-to-Practice (R2P) communities.
EDSN facilitates sponsored research, asset management, and fiduciary stewardship of trust funds, intellectual property, fellowships, grants, and scholarships. Through distributed knowledge networks of lifelong academy relationships, EDSN strengthen civic engagement, curiosity-driven R2P inquiry, accountable governance, and mutual respect among academy members within the politics of being.
EDSN's quality-assurance programs codify reflective self-study, peer review, capacity building, quality-of-life advancement, strategic planning, and stewardship of local neighborhood environmental niches. Together, these practices help finite and fallible individuals and communities develop increasingly viable understandings of how to know, do, and be within changing social, natural, and technological environments.
We explore mindful living, accountable governance, and the politics of being among fallible and finite human and non-human agents.
We are engaged ecologically, fiscally, creatively, and curiously in knowledge creation and sharing ...
We strive to peacefully, respectfully, and sustainably cohabit Earth with all our human and non-human neighbors ...
Co-learning, co-creating, and co-evolving with Gaia -- Earth, currently the only known inhabitable planet.
