Principia Humanitatis.ORG is a not-for-profit private project that nourishes the concept of - Renaissance Student - the well-rounded knowledgeable student who is oriented to develop a complete mindset towards The Art of Peace (TAP), The Art of Innovation (TAI) and The Art of Entrepreneurship (TAE), creating social, socialeconomic and environmental transformative-value for humanity, hence, being able to change our society and our world for the better.
Therefore, heuristic cognitive processes are oriented to value each student's creative potential as the nuclei of knowledge transformative-value for society, through a pioneering project-learning experience: THE 7 STEPS 4SUSTAINABILITY - Learning 4PEACE (positivity), 4INNOVATION (ingenuity) and 4ENTREPRENEURSHIP (responsibility).
OUR MISSION
Therefore, heuristic cognitive processes are oriented to value each student's creative potential as the nuclei of knowledge transformative-value for society, through a pioneering project-learning experience: THE 7 STEPS 4SUSTAINABILITY - Learning 4PEACE (positivity), 4INNOVATION (ingenuity) and 4ENTREPRENEURSHIP (responsibility).
OUR MISSION
Position Students as Active-Agents for knowledge-transformative-value through the intersection of "meta-imagination" and "mind-set-purpose" required to achieve Peaceful, Innovative and Entrepreneurial Societies; and, therefore, deliver diversity, inclusion and equity as social, economic and environmental values that transform "Schools" into "Hub-Ecosystems" oriented to flourish the biology of creativity for sustainable development of our society and of our world.
Accordingly, we undertake the mission of defying established status quo, through evidence based practice educational programs (vide "matrix_dimensions"), to prove that: "All students are capable of creating transformative economic, social and environmental value for sustainable development of our society and of our world."
OUR VALUESAccordingly, we undertake the mission of defying established status quo, through evidence based practice educational programs (vide "matrix_dimensions"), to prove that: "All students are capable of creating transformative economic, social and environmental value for sustainable development of our society and of our world."
We are wholeheartedly driven towards the advent of an entrepreneurial society moved by trust and reciprocity in which Peace is the highest educational purpose-value for social, economic and environmental positive-change; Innovation is the highest educational fulfillment-value for ingenuity; and Entrepreneurship is the highest educational commitment-value for taking responsibility for the problems of the world and creating solutions for them.

OUR PRINCIPLES
All Principia Humanitatis.ORG's interventions are committed to National Regulatory Compliances and towards the achievement of National and International Educational Values/Perspectives 2030; 17 Sustainable Development Goals; the Letter of Fundamental Rights of The European Union; and towards 4principles that inspire us:
ACT as if no artificial of fashion, politics, business, nor religion had ever been. INTERVENE using the singularity of human language, as if it was the only medicine capable of curing any disorder. BLOW seeds of knowledge to be and wait for the wind to bring them back stronger. BELIEVE on the language of PEACE, INNOVATION and ENTREPRENEURSHIP and defy the gravity of those who don't.

"Providing project-management-knowledge to students and observing how easily they grasp complex concepts as peace (positivity), innovation (ingenuity) and entrepreneurship (responsability), is per se an empowering vision for our future as sentience human beings who care and respect each other.
Being a mom of 3 teens, and having more than 20 years of experience on business management, has made me realize how much students can benefit from learning basic management skills by applying them from early stages. Effectively, management is not a rigid thinking pattern, but a well-rounded creative process of thinking how to link different parts and make them work together.
Therefore, shouldn't children and teens be nourished to learn how to hold together all the different knowledge-parts that are taught separately, in order to make them work together as a whole? Shouldn't students be nourished to develop a complete mind (not a split mind!) through the realisation that everything connects to everything? Shouldn't students learn leadership and good practices from the best corporate citizenship values? Shouldn't students learn that free enterprise cannot be justified as being good for business. It can only be justified as being good for society (Peter F. Ducker)? Most of all, shouldn't students learn how to use their imagination for positivity (PEACE), for ingenuity (INNOVATION) and for responsability (ENTREPRENEURSHIP)? I strongly believe they must and they 💪 💚 learning it!!!" Sandra Luísa Nunes
"I hold a PhD in sociology. I led an European project (FP7) on youth homelessness and reported for the Council of Europe and the European Commission as expert on the social inclusion and youth field. My main research areas include youth, social inclusion, risk behaviours and risk assessment.

WHAT DO STUDENTS THINK ABOUT US
"(...) Aprendemos os 17 Passos para a Sustentabilidade de uma forma divertida, porém séria, através de videos sobre tecnologias avançadas, histórias de vida, alterações climáticas e realização de trabalhos de projeto que nos dão ideias para o nosso futuro. Com este projeto percebemos melhor que a colaboração de todos é imprescindível para tornar o mundo mais pacífico, igualitário e sustentável."

"Tem sido muito enriquecedor a partilha das aulas e conhecer o projeto."
"(...) Aliás na parte da criatividade ser o resultado do conjunto do capital biográfico e académico com a imaginação, os alunos começaram a desenvolver um novo projeto tendo em conta a criatividade de cada um... adorei ver o interesse na conversa durante a execução do projeto."

THE SCIENTIFIC ADVISER
I have gained experience in these fields also while working for NGOs related with homelessness. Part of my training and working experiences have benefited from exchange programmes, such as the Fulbright in the USA, INED (Institute National d’Etudes Démographiques) in Paris, and a Marie Curie Training Site on Crime Prevention and Public Policy, at Keele University, UK.
My contact with children and young adults in situations of social exclusion and my experience as lecturer (sociology of youth at the California State University Stanislaus and Nova University of Lisbon) reinforced my beliefs that the educational field is a key-stone for promoting equal opportunities. Knowing that reaching students with different learning profiles, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds is challenging, and thinking as a mother, I feel absolutely involved on contributing to achieve an educational environment for our children which promotes inclusion and fights social inequalities.
I see the project 17 STEPS 4SUSTAINABILITY - Learning 4PEACE (positivity), 4INNOVATION (ingenuity) and 4ENTREPRENEURSHIP (responsibility), as offering universal knowledge tools, which stimulate creativity as a way to reach students in their diversity, putting them in the centre of the learning process, bridging with the fulfilment of the teacher as an essential piece of a fluid educational process."
