Auroville, India | August 2026
What is education truly for?
What knowledge should a human being as a human being possess and develop?
Is there a knowledge, possessing which, all else can be known?
Auroville
& an Education for a New Consciousness
Auroville is an experiment that “wants to be a new creation expressing a new consciousness in a new way and according to new methods”. One of its essential concerns has been the development of educational processes befitting a learning society aspiring to “an unending education”. As the collectivity has grown in complexity of material expression, this area—crucial to the evolution of a new consciousness—has become the key to its next steps.
The Summit
Towards a Collective Articulation
Auroville, India | August 2026
The Integral Education Summit is a curated, invitation-led international convening bringing together:
- education philosophers
- futurists
- policymakers
- practitioners
- Aurobindonian scholars
It emerges from three years of Integral Education Practitioners’ Gatherings (IEPGs) and marks a shift:
From conversation → to collective articulation
From exploration → to influence
Its aim is to create a space where the future of education can be quietly, rigorously rethought.
