Mission Statement
The Ubuntu Lab Is Reimagining How We Learn About Humanity. We help people across the globe live and work together in a diverse, interdependent world by designing and hosting engaging learning experiences that help people better understand themselves, others, and the society they share. We believe that when we understand others we can build a world that is just, peaceful, and prosperous.
Description
We are creating a new category of pubic institution: part museum, part design studio, part retail cafe, to engage the public in better, more authentic conversation about current events. Our secret sauce is a curriculum that helps people build the basic skills, knowledge and mindset needed to understand people. After 5 years of experimentation, research, and a handful small scale projects, 2018 is set to be the year we accelerate, hosting our first public programs, launching an academy to serve as a test bed for the programing for the coming neighborhood hub, a book from our founder is in the works, and a push for a full scale space.
