Everything is being reinvented around us every day--so why not education? Our non-institutional and decentralized program empowers a youth anywhere in the world to design and develop their own learning and career plan

1. The World’s Friendliest Avenue to Lifelong Learning!
Q.​ Who started this Avenne “movement?” ​A.​ ​Carey Giudici​ is an
award-winning journalist, poet and essayist who has developed
innovative learning programs over the years in Seattle, coastal
Georgia and Osaka. He has lived in a dozen countries and visited
a dozen more.
John Couper​ has ​a Communication PhD and has been a trainer
and educator​ in Kansas, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Kuwait. He
published dozens of scholarly articles, and established an original
online resource to help fellow professors make their online
research more productive.
Q. ​I’ve never heard of​ “Avvene”​--what’s it all about?​ A.​ It’s a new
grassroots or “bottom-up” education model designed to help
youths from any nation or economic group build a highly
personalized educational program. First it helps them identify their talents and priorities,
as it clarifies his or her “love language” and Myers-Briggs type.
Q.​ What is “microeducation?” A. It updates the
oldest style of teaching for internet-age students,
the way Grameen Bank’s “micro lending” model
updates business development.
We prepare youth everywhere to to develop their
own study programs using a committed network of
supporters and mentors from around the world.
Q.​ How can the Avvene model work in other
countries? ​A.​ It applies a non-institutional decentralized and child-centered
infrastructure that be applied in any cultural or social setting as easily as seamlessly as
any social media platform. It’s the first educational program designed specifically to take
full advantage of the internet’s technology, culture and communications.
Q.​ Where is it being used now? ​A.​ Our first pilot project was established in Ladysmith,
South Africa. New pilot projects are being set up in Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and
Mexico. Our goal is to enable folks like you support deserving youths in the country of
your choice.

2. Q.​ Is it just another kind of search
engine? ​A.​ No it’s been specifically
designed to help youths unlock their
full educational and leadership
potential without ever leaving home!
Supporters can repay a child who’s
brought them a moment of joy and
also honor teachers or mentors who
inspired them to greater fulfillment.
Q.​ How does it work? ​A.​ The Avvene educational process is:
1. Recruit a local Coordinator (already known, liked and trusted in his or her
community) to find, organize and counsel participating youths.
2. This Coordinator distributes a set of Avvene questions to parents or family
members to get essential information about each youth.
3. We use the answers as the basis of an attractive and highly personal children’s
book that includes as much appropriate personal information as possible, with
the youth as its central character--one copy goes to the family.
4. We learn more from the Coordinator and family members to compile a list of
each child’s key personality traits, skills and preferences.
5. We identify a select online network of experts, counselors or mentors and ask
them to contribute to the child’s personalized educational program.
6. In addition to being extraordinary students, participants might aspire to become a
teacher, expert and project developer some day.
7. At different stages in the process, various incentives such as certificates,
stipends, and media recognition will be used to keep youths’ enthusiasm high.
8. Each mentor or expert advisor will also be offered incentives to continue building
a the healthy and mutually agreeable relationship with their advisee.
