Humanizing education through real life wordless videos
Instead of telling viewers what to think, our wordless videos ask you to think critically — to wonder.
Instead of accidentally prescribing a fixed narrative, our content intentionally prescribes deep curiosity.
Wordless videos and our paired human stories help us to understand and confront our biases early in life.
The bonus? Each wordless video pairs with written stories and lesson plans that are available in so many languages.
Humanizing Education Through Wordless Videos
Meet Shantanu. As you engage with his video, reflect on the questions you have about him and his life. Reflect on the sense of wonder you feel.
Now imagine there was a narrator or subtitles telling you about his life. Would you have the same kinds of questions? Would you continue to wonder as much about him after watching the video?
Wordless Videos Deepen Academic Learning
Wordless stories have been shown to boost curiosity and engagement, to improve reading comprehension and academic learning, and to help students explore topics that matter to them. These benefits are showing to be interconnected: fostering curiosity and a sense of purpose is fundamental for a student’s academic success, and early math and reading success is a strong predictor of long term success.
New research is also showing that curiosity building can play a huge role in a student’s overall academic learning. Empathy, understanding, and academics — all at once.
Why Humanizing Education: Hear Student Perspectives
“This is the first time in my life I feel like I’m not being told what to think.”
“Everyone’s always telling me what to believe and how things work. I feel like now I get to think for myself.”
“I’m always wondering about so many things. This is so cool because I get to be curious while learning about the world.”
We pioneered wordless videos for learning to help students, teachers, and parents love learning for life.
To help all of us bring real life into learning.
To bring the world into our classrooms, living rooms, dinner tables, and favorite community hangout spots.
To prioritize curiosity before judgment. To wonder beyond words.
Our wordless videos make it possible for anyone, anywhere to engage with globally inclusive and humanizing education.
In school. Homeschooling. Anywhere you(th) are learning.
Some of the most important concepts in our lives are communicated without words.
So much of our human communication is “nonverbal”.
Wordless videos give us a chance to engage in the practice of learning and wondering from an early age — in school!
Natural curiosity practice.
No text captions, no narrator.
Engage audiences of every age, everywhere.
Help viewers immerse with their hearts first.
Fuel curiosity that suspends judgment.
Wordless videos help us practice essential life skills:
Curiosity before judgment. Learning to learn. Seeking understanding.
Let’s get out of the habit of being told information, absorbing it, memorizing it, and repeating it. Let’s learn to learn together.
Wordless videos help us bring real life into our learning. To humanize education.
HUMANIZING EDUCATION TO FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS
Weaving wordless videos with real human stories and lesson plans through our unique approach helps teachers, students, and parents to teach and learn key social skills and problem solving in school — and for homeschooling.
All in a globally adaptive, globally engaging, and globally inclusive way.
