The UnSchool of Disruptive Design

Nelson Mandela was right when he said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” but the education system no longer serves the world-changing-types. All too often, we see education churning out “cookie cutter” ideas and reducing the complexity of the world down to reductive silos. So, we set about disrupting the way we share and experience knowledge by creating an experimental knowledge lab called the UnSchool of Disruptive Design.

We also decided to challenge the dominant discourse around the power of individual agency in affecting positive change through the development of our non-school school.

The UnSchool offers face-to-face and online programs designed for the purpose-driven leader, career shifter, creative agitator, and all those passionate about activating their skills as a creative changemaker.

Through the UnSchool, we curate unique, cerebrally-activating experiences designed to reorient the way people participate in the world around them. Employing a foundation in critical pedagogy, we co-curate experiences with our community.

The UnSchool encourages people from diverse backgrounds to maximize their capacity to influence and affect positive social change. We help emerging leaders and established professionals rapidly upskill in designing interventions for social innovation.

Our programs center on our exclusive approach to changemaking, the Disruptive Design Method. The UnSchool’s three critical knowledge pillars of systems, sustainability and design allow us to build fascinating programs that don't exist anywhere else in the world.
