Hi guys, I’m Brainy in Uganda developing a design ant Technological Altruistic university to build the EA movement on the African continent.
A brief four years plan for Spectrum School of Design and Technology Altruistic university in Africa with a possible outline of what students will do/learn to cultivate their inner world at an altruistic university:
The science of altruistic human flourishing,
Study into the nature of happiness,
Study into the practice of altruistic human flourishing, this subject mainly focuses on the practical side of how to overcome, let go, live above, and give up oneself.
Teachers who have spent their life learning the science of altruistic human flourishing could aid students in the foundation and techniques of living altruistically.
This knowledge helps students to understand what they need to do to be able to choose the growth choice over the regression choice.
Study into the importance of altruistic human flourishing, It’s about the “why” of altruistic human flourishing. This subject aims to help students explore the joy, beauty, and meaning of living an altruistic life.
Mindfulness Meditation,
This should be practiced daily. There should also be a one-month silent retreat at the beginning of each school year for both students and teachers.
Daily Self-Reflection
This could come in any forms such as journaling, goal-settings, contemplation, etc.
Mentorship,
This should be done on a regular basis whereby older students mentor newer students on their progress of living altruistically and teachers too should mentor students who they are assigned to look after.
Living a Life of Service,
Charitable Giving,
Duty/Service/Volunteer/Chore.
Throughout the four years of learning at an altruistic university, students will get a chance to do and learn all of these to cultivate their inner world. However, the emphasis and the degree of freedom will vary from each school year and each student. The focus for new students is to lay down the basics of living an altruistic life. The first year of the altruistic university will mainly concentrate on assimilating students into the altruistic culture. The shared language, habits, and routines will set the right tone and right message of what altruistic school is all about and what everyone will do within their four years of education. Humans typically live life in accordance with what we want. But altruistic education aims to train students who live above and beyond what they want or don’t want or to be higher than themselves.
Expectedly, the first year will most likely be the toughest year due to the drastic change in both the student’s inner and outer world. Nonetheless, tough times when suffering together can create a sense of togetherness and comradeship. Thus, it is also important that intimacy and a sense of family or companionship among students as well as all the other members of the community is formed within the first year of school. The goal is to make sure that every member of the community feels they are a part of the community and that they are not alone on their path toward altruistic human flourishing. Theodore Roosevelt once said, Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty … I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well. (Roosevelt, n.d.) Nothing easy is worth pursuing. And altruistic education is meant to be extremely tough but at the same time extremely rewarding.
The focus in the first year is getting accustomed to the altruistic culture, but in the second and third year, the focus will be more balance between intrinsic learning and extrinsic learning. The goals within these two years are:
(1) the integration between intrinsic learning and extrinsic learning,
(2) the self-discovery of who the students are and capable of,
(3) the exploration what the world needs, and
(4) the rigorous study of the arts and science or in short extrinsic learning.
It should matter little which goal the students would like to begin with since eventually they should all lead to one another. For example, by opening up the world to the students or by encouraging students to take the initiative and be proactive in exploring the problem around them—locally or globally, students might feel moved and called for to help. Once students are inspired to make a difference, they will want to start building the necessary skills and learn the appropriate knowledge to be able to solve these real world problems critically.
