Curiosity is Dying.
Bring it Back to Life.
From a young age, we're told what to learn and how to learn it, stifling the natural curiosity we're born with. Rigid systems and algorithmic content are killing the joy of discovery. What if education could be different? What if we shifted our focus from teaching to learning? What if we sparked curiosity in every student? It's time to rethink how we learn... and it starts with a Curiosity Club!
How we transform education
Guide's Training
Guides (youth who start and run Curiosity Clubs) meet with us once a week for an hour of guidance. At the start of each semester they also go through the full-day Guide Training Experience.
Curiosity Clubs
Learners meet with their guides weekly. These spaces allow for youth to explore, create, and learn together. Driven by what truly makes them curious.
Curiosity Camp
Clubs from around the world come together for a week of exploration, and dive deep into their curiosities and develop lifelong friendships and skills.
Online Platform
The space where Guides manage their clubs, and learners share projects and updates while gaining recognition for their learning.
What is a Curiosity Club?
In an ever-changing world where schools often fail to prepare students for the unknown, Curiosity Clubs empower young people to think critically, stay curious, and keep learning. It’s preparing for the changing future.
Imagine a space where young people are excited to learn, not because they have to, but
because they want to. At Curiosity Clubs, youth come
together to explore their passions, collaborate on projects that matter to them, and
guide each other through a shared learning journey. From designing prototypes to
creating films or mastering new skills, these clubs are a hub of creativity and
innovation.
Curiosity Club is a space designed by youth for youth. Guides run the club and guide others through their learning. Guides go through a coaching program throughout their time at the club, including weekly sessions and a one-day Training Experience each semester, to practice relevant skills for the club.
Where does your contribution go?
Every €500 opens a new Curiosity Club. 100% of contributions to this campaign go to project expenses and club activities for a club's first year of operations.
After the first year, the club continues with the same annual budget funded by parental contributions and other campaigns.
What does a Curiosity Club budget cover?
- Project expenses: For learner-led projects.
- Club activities: For guide-led activities.
Why does your support matter?
Curiosity Clubs are transforming education by giving young people the space to:
- Keep their curiosity alive, which is essential in a world that’s evolving faster than ever.
- Work on meaningful projects that ignite their passions and develop real-world skills.
- Take control of their learning in an engaging, supportive environment.
While the clubs are designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for learning, they also indirectly address educational challenges such as:
- Lack of engagement.
- One-size-fits-all teaching.
- Growing mental health concerns.
Traditional education often leaves students disengaged and unprepared for the future. Curiosity Clubs change that by sparking curiosity, boosting confidence, and fostering collaboration. With over 600 people waiting to start their own clubs, the demand is clear.
What your contribution does:
- Every €500 funds a new Curiosity Club, empowering young learners to take charge of their education.
- Fuels a sustainable youth-led movement that grows with community support.
- Makes learning accessible through community-led clubs that don’t rely on traditional systems.
You’re not just funding an educational program, you’re investing in the future. This is your chance to make a lasting impact and shape the future of education.
Who are we?
We’re a group of 19 to 24-year-olds who refused to wait for the system to change. Instead of demanding others fix what’s broken, we’re building something better. An alternative to mainstream education that empowers young people without forcing them to leave the traditional system entirely. Our goal is to completely transform the education system globally. It's ambitious, we know. See more about us here.
Stories from Guides
I’ve started Curiosity Club to create a more comfortable learning environment where learners can be themselves and enjoy learning. I felt like I couldn’t be open about the things I wanted to learn and had to stick to a strict curriculum.
It's a great opportunity for people to learn more about what they are actually curious about. I want to see how learning can be more interactive and be based on the people's own questions.
