Why we ask for it.

A seminar is meaningful on its own, but the feeling that your thoughts can change something usually fades once the session ends. Projects help it last. Each student takes a line, a moment or a question from the text and acts on it in their own community, because svet is a Slavic word for light, and light starts close to home: in a classroom, a family, a street.

Projects are part of every online course. They are not graded, but finishing one is part of completing the course and receiving the certificate.

How it works.

  1. Before the courseThe orientation packet introduces projects, and we bring them up again during the seminars.
  2. After the last seminarA short video and a presentation explain what a project can be.
  3. Within one weekThe student sends a short outline. We approve it or ask them to develop it further.
  4. ThenThey build it on their own, and we check in along the way.

Start your own.

Every project begins in one of our courses. The next one is open for applications.
