The World’s First Co-learning space is Amazing and it´ll be in Brazil!

A brazilian place for Education, Design, Innovation and Technology.

How I feel when I see the Colearning Space project

I had the privilege of growing up in a Culture of Learning.

It took moments of isolation, deep abstractions and focus for me to develop the autonomy and the freedom to experiment, create and imagine how things could be different.

This has become the best part of me. And throughout the years I’ve learned that I connect with people by ideas.
