For example, have you ever wondered, why is it that universities are typically four years?

Why is it that you graduate?

And then we go on to this other aspect of my life that is about work.

Why is it that parents can't go to school with their kids and learn in the classroom with their kids?

Why is it that in an era where we know lifelong learning is important, we still create this huge partition in our lives between our schooling years and our work years?

So with these wanderings, I decided to see if I could pack the system in the innocence and get thousands of people to create a new type of university together with me.

And I did this not because it was a fancy business project or anything, but because I wanted this for my Children.

So two years ago, I released the video that spoke about a new vision.

For one, education could look like this video led to an idea called Mine Valley University City campus.

And before you watch this video, Let me tell you, investors told me.

I quote, This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

But still, this idea took off first in Barcelona with Queen 100 people came together to build a campus from scratch.

And then a year later, it multiplied threefold when 1000 100 people came to Tallinn, Estonia, again to create a new type of university from scratch, a one month university people off all ages.

We're not stopping.

Their next event is happening in Pula, Croatia.

I'd like you if you're interested to watch this original video to see if you're one of the crazy ones.

That would like to take part in this radical new idea off hacking the way we live.

Alan Watts, the great send philosopher, once said no literate, inquisitive and imaginative person needs to go to college unless the need of a union card or degree.

It's a certified physician, lawyer or teacher, or unless he requires access to certain heavy and expensive equipment for scientific research.

Yet when wants wrote that in 1972 he couldn't even have imagined what would be happening in the world today, with new technologies, rapid change and shifts in how companies with group that would all combine to further make college kind of useless.

But the thing is called a chest.

Numerous good points.

We grow up, we mature, We make deep, meaningful connections.

We meet the friends and finally, interest that ultimately define us.

So how can we completely re engineer college to keep all of the good and disrupt all of the bad?

Absolute points, while we think way have an idea for a new model that radically rethinks college that questions all the rules about how we've been conditioned to believe education should look like and takes advantage off emerging technologies, new social movements, new types of knowledge, accessibility, a new research on what truly creates happy, successful fulfill lives.

Ready to catch a glimpse?

Okay, boy revealed this new model.

First, you got to know what makes more than call it so absurd in the first place.

Let's stop with the length of time so you take a teenager and you plant him in a bubble for four years.

Same campus surrounded by other 19 year olds.

Problem is, in today's world, things are changing at an exponential pace.

Peter Diamandis set that between 2016 and 22.

There will be it's many new changes in the world you, the exponential technology growth as between all 1,902,000.

Wow.

So we have kids coming out of college with knowledge that has become totally obsolete in there four years on campus.

So what if we got read off this four year more?

What if?

Instead, kids went to college for one month of the year and then spent 11 months in the feel, you know, doing real work, like having a job of starting a business.

And then they come back for one month every year.

What if this did not stop when you're 22?

What if it continued?

What if this four years were stretched out?

So you come back one month every year for 48 years?

Sounds crazy.

Hold on.

We're just getting started.

Second, what if we got rid of expensive campuses?

Think about all of that.

Wasted tuition fees.

I was stuck in the same campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for four years, but the world is so much bigger.

What if we did away with fixed campuses and instead move this college to a different city every year.

What if we picked international amazing cities like Berlin, Singapore, Barcelona, places filled with culture, places you dream of visiting next?

What if we could drop the price by 10 bowl?

No campus means huge cost savings.

But now let's look at another or design about college.

They say you are the sum of the five people closest to you, but it call it you're hanging out with other 19 year olds.

What did you learn from the average 19 year old if you're 19?

When I went to college, I remember my freshman year.

The coolest guys were the ones that could sneak us into a frat party.

So bias liquor?

Not exactly brilliant.

So what if we disrupted this?

What if age did not matter?

Your friends could be 19 or 30 or 50.

We learned from the wisdom of our Elvis.

They learn from youth.

Age becomes irrelevant.

That then, just a curriculum itself.

Neil Gaiman, the legendary writer, set up schools.

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school.

They don't teach you how to love somebody.

They don't teach you how to be famous.

They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor.

They don't teach you howto walk away from someone you don't love any longer.

They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind.

They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying.

They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

And you know what I'm talking about.

Yes, you get a four year degree, but does it need four years more?

More job related aspects of college are free online.

Harvard Berkeley, M I T.

The courses are now online.

Just goto edek start or you can learn anything from aft development to physics for free.

Study the classes you need for your chosen career.

Bet.

Why do we waste four years on a fixed campus hanging out with 19 year olds trying to get enough credits to fill some arbitrary degree that we might never ever use?

The world is changing so fast.

Many of the top jobs today we're not available.

It's college degrees a mere five years ago.

So what do you teach you?

Teach what Neil Gaiman preached.

Real world skills howto lead how to create a vision for your life.

How to be a better parent spouse lover Howto have healthy self esteem and emotional intelligence.

Gold setting.

Crafting a vision for your life, entrepreneurship, personal growth skills like how to keep fit and healthy practice, meditation and mindfulness.

These are the skills that truly lead toa happy, successful lives, but you do not learned.

Eastern College.

Which brings us to the teachers, are the best teachers in the world today in the world's university's.

Not always.

And here's why teachers today have their hands tied more than ever to survive as a teacher in a classical system, you're often rewarded for the research much, much more than your actual teachers.

So it's a student.

You don't always get the best learning experience books often.

Ah, quite Dr and classes not to engaging, leading you to disconnect and not truly retained the knowledge you've been given doors who have a true passion for teaching, buying themselves, gravitating out off the traditional system, the very best teachers are the ones writing best selling books.

Building their business is speaking at large seminar.

Speaking on the Ted stage, they have transcended the need to be stuck on a singular campus colleges may have great researchers and scientists, but not necessarily the best teachers.

So what if you could learn from these people?

What if your teacher was someone whose work was so profound he had sold 20 million votes or broken a Guinness record?

Or was The New York Times bestselling author of The Best in the Fields?

So let's recap no more four years.

It's now one month a year.

No fixed campus.

You moved to a different spectacular city every year.

No pick stage.

Your peers come from all around the world and off all ages.

No outdated curriculums.

You learn the skills that actually matter the happiness and success and making an impact on the planet and your teachers the best in the world.

But wait, despite all of this, college does have some good bits.

You need some of your best friends in the world.

You formed your character, find your community and create incredible memories.

So what if we can retain an amplified these good pots and disrupt and reinvent all the obsolete parts?

What would education look like them?

You can choose to live in ordinary life.

Same city, same job, same style of parenting and relationships and daily 9 to 5 as everyone else.

Or you can choose to question everything.

Welcome to a new style of education and a new style of living.

So if you found these ideas interesting, common and let us know your thoughts and I'll see you in Pooler, Croatia, this year.
