Plexlearning: co-learning, co-adopting, & co-creating
The Education for Development and Support Network (EDSN) is an association of Lifestyle Academies and Neighborhood Plexlearning Centers that advance continuous co-learning, co-adopting, and co-creating with human and non-human agents. We integrate academic rigor, meaningful vocations, entrepreneurial philanthropy, and accountable governance with religion, business, and other technologies to build mindfulness-centered Research-to-Practice (R2P) communities.
EDSN facilitates sponsored research, Life-long relationships, experiential learning, trust funds oversight, and distributed knowledge networks to strengthen civic engagement, curiosity, R2P inquiry, accountable governance, and mutual respect within the politics of being. Our collaborative quality assurance programs advance reflective self-study, peer review, capacity building, asset development, strategic planning, and stewardship of our environmental niche.
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.
