News: Writers wanted

There are so many outstanding people doing groundbreaking stuff in the world, organizations who truly care about developing people’s potential to its full extant, human beings who are willing to question the way traditional education is made and to innovate to achieve their goals.

We don’t know them all.

That’s why we are looking for collaborators: writers who want to share their thoughts on education, on social entrepreneurship, or on the educative impact of social media. It could also be on any other topic that is of interest for people who believe that human beings naturally aim to achieve their greatest potential, if presented with the tools and opportunities.

You can be a mother, a professional writer, an home-schooled teenager, a professor, a blogger: as long as you are passionate about your topic.

It can be one article, a series or sporadic contributions.

Send us an email at info[at]e-180.com with your name and the topic you would like to cover.

News: 2009 = E-180′s Year!

Many new things to come this year for us!

We will be launching our Facebook application next week. With this app, you’ll be able to share your learning resolutions with your friends, and find people who can help you to achieve it. Kind of a first draft of what E-180 will be.

Also, we will produce video podcasts on non-traditional education and will enhance our blog content by collaborating with authors from around the world who want to share their vision of non-traditional education, social entrepreneurship or social media.

All of this to keep you busy while we are working on E-180′s official platform.

So stay tuned for the updates, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have comments or suggestions!

Walking our talk

E-180 is based on the belief that education doesn’t belong to institutions: that education is a relationship allowing growth and development. We built this blog to walk our talk and to allow you to share your advices and criticisms with us, as we are working on the development of a platform that is meant to address your needs of consensual education.

We deeply believe in the incredible support of the community, and we are already grateful for all your time and commitment to keeping us on track! Now that Catherine is working hard, in collaboration with Ekorce, to develop our brand (don’t worry: the real logo will look way better than this one!!), that Dominic is fine tuning our Facebook App and that Christine has moved to a full-time position as the CEO of E-180, we are ready to shift speed.

The purpose of this blog is simple: to keep you posted on what’s up, and to ask your opinion. We have so many questions, and we know you have even more suggestions. So please, share your thoughts on everything you find on this blog: our mission, our bios, our ideas, our questions, our challenges, our successes.

We will also add a page where you can post your needs in terms of knowledge-sharing: it’s not the great platform we are building for you yet, but it’s a beginning!
