Owning Direction in Education Around the World: Bali Edition
Beyond the Beaches: Inside one of Bali’s Educational Heartlands
Education Experience
Green School During one of my trips in 2019 in Bali, I had the opportunity to embark on a tour of the Green School—a beacon of sustainability and innovation in education. As I wandered through its bamboo classrooms and lush surroundings, I was struck by the philosophies embraced by its community. It was a profound reminder that there are many paths to education, each one shaped by the unique values and beliefs of those who inhabit it.
The Green School experience served as a catalyst for reflection, prompting me to reconsider my own values to teaching and learning. It challenged me to explore alternative methods and rituals that align with my values and beliefs in education. Perhaps, in embracing this diversity of perspectives, we can uncover new rituals that resonate deeply with our souls and elevate the educational experience for ourselves.
As we journey through life, let us remain open to the lessons that different cultures and communities have to offer. Perhaps we can seek inspiration from those who dare to chart their own course and forge new paths in education. For it is through this openness and curiosity that we can discover our own values and rituals of teaching and where our purpose in (or beyond) education lies.
Reflecting on our Bali adventures, we're reminded that travel transcends mere sightseeing—it's about forging connections, embracing experiences, and staying true to our values. Whether a brief escape or an extended adventure, Bali's allure lies in its ability to connect to our hearts and souls profoundly. So here's to Bali—our compass and our sanctuary—an island where each journey enriches our connection to ourselves and the world.
