8 Core Processes

These proprietary processes have been developed and refined from over two decades working in global education, social entrepreneurship, and publishing. They can be done individually or pieced together as a longer process.

The 8 Core Processes of What If Curiosity’s Curiosity Based Learning are designed to be done collaboratively, relying on nothing more than the individual curiosities within the group powering it. Each one can be described on a single piece of paper and can be done without needing to plug anything in or connecting to the Internet.

Everyone from grade schoolers to CEOs have used these Curiosity Based Learning processes to make the tasks before them more manageable, enjoyable, and their own. Each process is grounded in curiosity, results in purposeful actions, and takes users along pathways of empathy, inquiry, and discovery to reaching the solutions they are seeking. Adjacent outcomes for users of What If Curiosity’s Curiosity Based Learning are more empathetic, enthusiastic, and capable communicators with biases toward collaborative actions.
