Every parent desires their child to be more than just book smart – they want them to grow into wise individuals who think, act, and respond in a thoughtful and authentic manner. However, traditional school systems often fall short in addressing these needs, leaving parents feeling unequipped to fill the gap. That's where 'The Wise Child Program' steps in. This program offers a unique and credible learning experience, designed to support the holistic development of your children. With a playful yet profound approach, it aims to foster a sense of wonder and well-being in today's hyper-connected, yet emotionally disconnected world. 

Wisdom As Play: Borrowing from the symbolism of a pinwheel, we encourage playfulness and joy when associating with wisdom, allowing stakeholders of the learning ecosystem to engage with it in a fun and interactive manner. Our set of five guiding principles, based on existing wisdom science research, follow the cyclical nature of the pinwheel, representing fluidity and reciprocity, resulting in a democratic learning environment. Regardless of which panel of the wheel is on the top, and which principle is in focus, they are all interconnected and whole in creating a better, more harmonious world.

The Wise Child Program lays the foundation for each of these five parameters towards achieving holistic development and well-being of our learners in a safe & multi-dimensional learning environment.

Project FUEL holds a valuable key to unlock learners’ hearts all around the globe. Working together with Project FUEL gave me robust tools and resources to approach teachers, and highlight the vital importance of warm and intimate relationships between students and teachers in order for the educational system to perform well. Project FUEL’s approach is in a sense truly democratic, in that it values and celebrates the hidden powers of each and every individual willing to share and learn. In doing so, it inspires students, teachers, schools and even education systems to become better versions of themselves.” - Dr. Jeroen Lauwers, Project Manager, Active Citizenship Municipal Education Antwerp

"Using their educational techniques, a learner can understand and maneuver through complex emotions and gain confidence in their own learning path. They might seem simple at the face value but can have a life long transformative effects on the learner." - Aditi Gupta Co-Founder, Menstrupedia
