​We know this work is needed.

We trust it will continue to be supported.

We invite you to be a part of it.
We hear a lot about the problems with education. The dream is often spoken of as if it is out of reach. We need places where people can practice a new way in education that respects and draws out the life in all of us.

Before you invest, to learn more about Sourced Design–

* Watch the Springhouse learners speak about the Sourced Design principles during Helsinki Education Week. 

* Read these testimonies from Education Design Lab participants:

I joined the Education Design Lab to learn more about the Sourced Design principles, find inspiration and connect with others who are engaging in the messy process of experimenting in educational transformation. It was so encouraging to find support and camaraderie with others who are courageously grounding ideals in practice. The labs themselves are shaped by the principles, so there was connection and intimacy, depth and risk, play and emergence. It was not just talking about the problems, or imagining rosy, what-if futures, rather, through engaging forms, we were invited to learn by actually living into this new way. ~ Chris W., Educator

I came to the Education Design Lab hoping to find insights into the working framework for generative education, in which both the leaders and the learners can maintain and develop their wholeness and agency.  Not only did I find a group of people who were living into a co-created authentic life-affirming narrative, but I also found a group of people who were open to the messiness of that activity and open to outside perspectives.  This experience has enhanced my life and given me the strength to continue the journey. ~ Chuck P., Education Consultant


It was a great privilege to be part of the Education Design Lab at Springhouse school. I believe we were introduced to an education that will one day be mainstream. At the very centre, is not a philosophy or fixed identity, but a design that fosters vitality within each individual. I am filled with energy and excitement. Thank you Springhouse!

The Education Design lab has opened my eyes to the hope and reality that the change and practice we want to see with regard to the purpose and practice of education is very much possible. Interacting with the Springhouse staff and learners, and participating in some of their activities, has given me a glimpse of that hope. I feel more driven to action; to just start. Learning and sharing with fellow participants has solidified my belief of an educational system that draws out life, and focuses on vitality.
~ Saka, Educator in Mombasa, Kenya


Thanks to the Springhouse team for this cohort of the Education Design Lab. I connected deeply with the participants and enjoyed the way the facilitators modeled best practices in designing welcoming educational spaces. I look forward to staying in touch with my cohort and helping them achieve their local implementation goals. Thanks to all who participated!  ~ Nicholas Martino, Founder of A-Lab & NJM Global ED Consulting
