Purposefulness
A wider purpose is given to learning through linking knowledge in different subjects with UN SDG, which function as topics that show students how they can apply classroom knowledge in real world.
Personalization
Learning tailored to each student enables them to grow in their own pace. Students’ wishes, needs and affinities become the center of what they learn and create in school.
Interdisciplinarity
Links are being made among pieces of knowledge in different subjects, and they are put together into one unit. Students merge their knowledge from various subjects within numerous tasks that they perform together with their peers, teachers and parents in a meaningful and personalized manner.
General students’ wellbeing

This exercise helps students to be present in every moment, reduces stress and boosts their learning potential.
