Ensuring that technology contributes to genuine social wellbeing is a collective undertaking.
Our first online course is now available
From Endless Means to Worthy Ends: Technology and Human Flourishing explores several characteristics of technology and its role in modern society. The course aims to help participants reflect on their attitude toward technology and to strengthen their ability to make choices about when and how it is best used. It will be of interest to all those concerned with the direction and impact of technological innovation.
Vision
We envision a future in which technological innovation is shaped by the active participation of all people and oriented toward promoting material and spiritual wellbeing for everyone.
Through research and education, we work to raise consciousness about the nature of technology, fostering reflection on its social impact and building capacity to shape technological systems in ways that enhance individual and collective wellbeing.
Areas of Focus
At present we have two primary areas of learning that we pursue principally through action research in collaboration with a growing number of individuals, including young people, teachers, administrators, parents, and community-serving organizations with similar concerns and aspirations.
Technology in Education
How to ensure that technology is well integrated into educational frameworks to enrich and extend learning experiences, enhancing the quality and accessibility of education?
Digital Agency
What kind of education can help individuals, families, schools and communities to consciously and conscientiously select and use technology to ensure that it contributes positively to social wellbeing and progress?
