对话宣言(萨尔可汗)

萨尔可汗:希望你和我一起了解更多关于对话如何运作的信息,你如何将你的对话档案作为大学申请的一部分提交,以及你如何加入这个充满好奇心、思想开放的学习者社区。一起,我们可以一次一次地通过对话建立理解的桥梁。

学习的未来始于对话

在 Schoolhouse.world,我们认为教育的未来不仅存在于教科书或讲堂中,也存在于对话里。通过对话,我们培养在不断变化的世界中取得成功所需的技能、思维方式和同理心。

我们开展对话的目标是创造一种基于好奇心、同理心和协作的新型学习方式。以下是关于对话在促进人际联系、学习、人生成功和社会变革中所起作用的 12 条信念。


人际联系

对话不应令人恐惧。
与陌生人交谈感到紧张是正常的。但我们设计的对话是开放、随意且有趣的。你会在结束对话时意识到,与与你不同的人交谈比你想象的要容易得多。

没有人是独自学习的。
教育不是一个人的旅程。当你通过对话与他人建立联系时,你不仅是在分享知识,也是在构建社区。这种联系是我们作为学生和作为人成长的重要部分。

世界就是你的课堂。
我们设计对话是为了吸引来自世界各地的学生,这样他们就可以探索文化如何塑造观点,并以一种反映现实世界的方式学习:无结构、动态且多样。


学习

好奇心是学习的动力。
我们天生都有好奇心,我们应该通过提问,甚至是棘手的问题,让这种好奇心自由驰骋。你越好奇,你对世界和自己的了解就会越多。

对话是终极学习工具。
书籍和考试很棒,但向他人学习有其独特的强大之处。伟大的想法需要空间去发展,而这个空间是在我们相互交谈时创造出来的。通过对话,你可以质疑假设并思考对你真正重要的事情。

学习应该是有趣的,而不是有压力的。
忘记正式辩论或考试的压力 —— 学习应该是享受想法带来的乐趣。对话是轻松、开放且旨在令人愉快的,这样你就可以毫无恐惧或压力地进行探索。


人生成功

大学入学准备不仅仅关乎考试分数。
大学在寻找能够批判性思考、沟通、协作和领导的学生。对话帮助你在真实对话中练习这些技能,让你在真正重要的事情上领先一步。

想法应该被分享,而不仅仅是被研究。
如果你从不分享你的想法,学习又有什么意义呢?我们认为思想的交流与学习思想同样重要。通过对话,你将培养在课堂上不常教授但在生活中至关重要的沟通和社交技能。

现实世界的学习通过协作发生。
学习不仅仅关乎个人成就,还关乎共同努力。我们在这里帮助你学习如何跨越文化和国界与他人协作,这在当今相互关联的世界中是一项必不可少的技能。


社会变革

最好的想法来自多种视角。
我们都受到我们来自何处的影响。与与我们不同的人交谈并接纳我们的差异有助于我们学习、成长并实现社会进步。

同理心是一种超能力。
最好的对话不仅仅关乎你说什么,还关乎你听到什么。我们认为倾听是学习和让世界变得更美好的关键。

对话可以塑造世界。
为了改变世界,我们需要相互谈论重要的事情。通过进行有意义的对话,你可以帮助构建一个更加相互联系、理解和思想开放的世界。


在 Schoolhouse,我们正在重新思考教育,使其更具吸引力、全球性和协作性。让我们让学习成为一场值得拥有的冒险。我们邀请你加入对话,从每一次的对话中塑造未来。

要参与对话,请加入 Enrichment Subworld 丰富世界,我们将在那里宣布活动和其他机会。

Dialogues Manifesto – by Sal Khan

The Future of Learning Starts with Dialogue

At Schoolhouse.world, we believe the future of education isn’t just found in textbooks or lecture halls—it’s also found in conversation. Through conversation, we develop the skills, mindset, and empathy needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.

Our goal with Dialogues is to create a new kind of learning that’s built on curiosity, empathy, and collaboration. Here are 12 beliefs about the role dialogue plays in furthering human connection, learning, life success, and social change.

Human Connection

Conversations Shouldn’t Be Scary.

It’s okay to feel nervous about talking to someone new. But we’ve designed Dialogues conversations to be open, casual, and fun. You’ll walk away realizing that talking to someone different from you is much easier than you thought.

No One Learns Alone.

Education isn’t a solo journey. When you connect with someone through a conversation, you’re not just sharing knowledge—you’re building community. That connection is a vital part of how we grow, as students and as people.

The World is Your Classroom.

We’ve designed Dialogues to engage students from around the globe so they can explore how culture shapes perspectives and learn in a way that mirrors the real world: unstructured, dynamic, and diverse.

Learning

Curiosity is the Engine of Learning.

We’re all naturally curious and we should let that curiosity roam free by asking questions, even the tough ones. The more curious you are, the more you’ll understand about the world and yourself.

Conversations Are the Ultimate Learning Tool.

Books and tests are great, but there’s something uniquely powerful about learning from another person. Big ideas need space to breathe, and that space is created when we talk to each other. Through dialogue, you question assumptions and reflect on what really matters to you.

Learning Should Be Fun, Not Stressful.

Forget the pressure of formal debates or tests— learning should be about having fun with ideas. Dialogues are relaxed, open, and meant to be enjoyable, so you can explore without fear or stress.

Life Success

College Readiness is About More Than Test Scores.

Colleges are looking for students who can think critically, communicate, collaborate, and lead. Dialogues helps you practice those skills in real conversations, giving you a head start on what really matters.

Ideas Should be Shared, Not Just Studied.

What’s the point of learning if you never share your ideas? We believe the exchange of ideas is just as important as learning them. With Dialogues, you’ll develop the kind of communication and social skills that aren’t often taught in classrooms—but are essential in life.

Real-World Learning Happens through Collaboration.

Learning isn’t just about individual achievement—it’s about working together. We’re here to help you learn how to collaborate with others across cultures and borders, a skill that is essential in today’s interconnected world.

Social Change

The Best Ideas Come From Many Perspectives.

We’re all shaped by where we come from. Talking with people who are different from us and engaging with our differences helps us learn, grow, and achieve social progress.

Empathy is a Superpower.

The best conversations aren’t just about what you say—they’re about what you hear. We believe that listening is key to learning and to making the world a better place.

Conversations Can Shape the World.

To change the world, we need to talk to each other about what matters. By engaging in meaningful dialogue, you can help build a more connected, understanding, and open-minded world.

At Schoolhouse, we’re rethinking education to make it more engaging, global, and collaborative. Let’s make learning an adventure worth having. We invite you to join Dialogues to help shape the future, one conversation at a time.

To get involved with Dialogues, be sure to join the Enrichment Subworld, where we will be announcing events and other opportunities.
