What we do

Two movements

Learning

We follow the Ruhi Institute's approach to curriculum development. A small group acts, reflects, consults, and revises, and action never waits for finished materials. Facilitators from every studio gather each quarter to compare what they have learned.

Discourse

We offer what crystallises to the discourses of society: through published accounts and materials, through Integer's dialogues with scholars, and through gatherings where young people and partners think together.

From practice to publication

How our materials mature

Each material moves through three stages. We publish it when the changes it needs have become negligible, not when a date arrives.

Initial outline

The core concepts and passages we believe will achieve an educational aim, used by small groups in the field.

Alpha version

A consolidated text that reflects new experience: concepts amended, passages added, exercises introduced.

Pre-publication edition

Shared more widely once its content holds together, and refined through successive editions.

About the Ruhi Institute's approach

Our standard for discourse

Questions we ask of everything we publish

Is this something we need to know to contribute to the advancement of civilisation, locally or globally?

Is this the best possible form of the argument?

Is the story in its historical context?

Are there really only two sides to this story?
