- Youth and education
Vision
Educated children: reflective, empathetic, discerning, empowered and thirsty for knowledge.
Basic vision
Our basic idea is that human beings have a unique capacity for continuous positive development. This includes inner maturity as well as theoretical knowledge and useful, utilitarian skills.
There are no watertight barriers between inner growth and education, i.e. the acquisition of knowledge, and the paths of influence run in both directions. Knowledge can be measured and graded, while inner character development is not measurable. Despite this indeterminacy and openness, it is at the heart of human development. The school's motto is the education of children. Unlike the concept of education, the concept of education also includes the inner process of maturation, a process that is central to Philosophy.
An educated person is a person who has developed their inner qualities. It is a person with self-esteem, self-confidence, responsibility and insight, but also a person with empathy, action, judgement and the ability to think critically - to think for oneself. If these spiritual capacities can be made to grow strong, the thirst for knowledge increases and educational outcomes can improve.
Mission: Filosofiska's mission is to run non-profit educational facilities with a holistic approach, which focuses on and combines the inner development of the children with their knowledge-learning, in a creative atmosphere marked by an awareness of the outside world and sympathy for the vulnerable.
Main objective: Filosofiska's ambition is to build a cosmopolitan network of schools, which will be done by starting own schools or through collaboration with other schools and by doing so contributing to a more sustainable development of the world.
Filosofiska is today running non-profit preschools in Sweden and is taking over a non-profit primary school (grade 0-9) in 2016.
How Filosofiska contributes to sustainable development
Filosofiska's entire approach, with a vision that focuses on the children's education, in the sense of inner character development, is based on sustainability thinking. Society needs people who are reflective, empathetic, discerning, energetic and thirsty for knowledge. Everything we do at Filosofiska is based on this vision.
In Nepal, Filosofiska has taken the initiative to open a preschool and a primary school for vulnerable children. This school is financed by Filosofiska and other donors.
In 2014 Filosofiska was selected by the municipality of Stockholm to represent them at a fair for different "good examples". Educators from Filosofiska have been invited to schools in other countries for exchange of knowledge and to lecture about their work. Educators from other countries have also visited Filosofiska's facilities to learn more.
In 2015 Filosofiska collaborated with the The Freedom Theatre, a community-based cultural centre in Jenin Refugee Camp, occupied Palestine, in a joint project partly financed by the Swedish Institute. The aim was to establish a non-profit child centre in Jenin refugee camp that would offer artistic and educational activities for children 0-5 years old, where Filosofiska would contribute its expertise in running activities for children and its unique philosophy.
Filosofiska can contribute with its expertise in running educational activities for Children.
To help Filosofiska fulfill its mission and objectives and to help others fullfill theirs.
