Integral Education & Lifelong Learning
Integral Education is a foundational concept in Auroville, India, developed from the ideas of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. In the education sector, it emphasizes the well-rounded development of children, nurturing all aspects of their being.
Physical: Integral education incorporates physical activity and movement as a crucial part of a child's growth.
Vital: This dimension focuses on the child's life-force, emotions, and desires. Art, creative expression, and appreciation for beauty are important aspects.
Mental: Critical thinking, analysis, and intellectual development are fostered alongside the other aspects.
Spiritual: Integral education encourages inner exploration and the development of a child's spirit.
