Flow India is an education organization that focuses on human-centered design and developing learning experiences to empower students with 21st century skills. They do this by making local culture accessible and relevant through experiential, interdisciplinary project-based learning. Their goal is to transform cultural capital into sustainable learning resources and embed this approach within the Indian learning system. They work with schools, institutions, and organizations to design innovative learning frameworks connecting students to the real world through engagement with culture.

1. EMPOWERING INNOVATION
IN LEARNING

2. Flow India is an education and culture
organization with a human-centered
design focus.
We develop learning experiences that
empower students with 21st
century
skills by making local cultural capital
accessible and relevant to them.

3. We view real world as a robust
learning stimuli.
We believe that building engagement
with culture fosters human capacity
to perceive connections across
disciplines, fuels human ingenuity
and builds self-awareness.

4. We bring real-life context to the
classroom through experiential
interdisciplinary project-based
learning, to encourage the students
of today to become self-sufficient,
critical thinkers, and lifelong learners
of tomorrow.

5. MISSION.
To empower learners with skills of
the 21st
century by transforming
local cultural capital into
sustainable learning resources.
VISION.
To embed this approach as a
‘must-have’ component within
the Indian learning system and
not a mere ‘good-to-have’.

6. THE INDIAN SCHOOL SYSTEM
The Indian School System is
characterised by rote-learning
& subject silos. This fails to build
learners capacities in adaptability and
preparedness for the 21st
century.
In most classrooms there is a skewed
teacher-student ratio. This poses a
challenge in shaping engagement and
personalised attention.

7. Our approach builds a strong connect
between external stakeholders, the
educator community and the students,
creating a fluid learning conduit that
connects the classroom with the real world.

We design innovative learning frameworks that
help students engage with the real world, express
themselves creatively and self-reflect on their
learning.

We work with educators to make a systemic shift
in viewing out-of-school learning as an essential
strategy of learning, developing capacities in
utilizing local environment & communities to
design creative learning experiences along with
project specific assessment tools such as self
evaluations, set questionnaires, reflection sheets
and mood meters.
