The Life Development Project Model: An Innovative Learning Process Management of the Learning Institute for Everyone
Main Article Content
Abstract
Learning Institute for Everyone is committed to expanding educational opportunities and fostering lifelong learning. As a higher education institution, it empowers learners to have dignity and self-sufficiency within their local communities. Through experiential learning, the institute seamlessly integrates academic knowledge with everyday life and the local context. Education here is deeply connected to culture, traditions, and local wisdom. The community serves as both a learning resource and a key supporter of education, while local scholars and community sages transmit knowledge, local wisdom, and foster a lifelong learning mindset. This approach ensures continuous personal and professional growth for all learners. Furthermore, the Life Development Project Model is one of the graduation criteria for the students of the Learning Institute for Everyone. Every learner must actively work on enhancing their own lives or advancing their careers, demonstrating the tangible impact of the institute’s learning philosophy, using the learners' lives and the academic content to unify life development, career advancement, and learning into a single entity.
