1. You have to go exploring to acquire new idea – AND to explore further to form better ideas.

For altogether too many years, people wanting to learn more than they know already have been obliged to take a seat. In Europe people start to learn anything at all by sitting down.
And that is very nearly how they remain. Perfectly boring most of the time. And quite divorced from the experience of ordinary mortals, who know that it is where things are happening in real life that we are able to learn.
At DNS we start in the world at large. And we use the school buildings as places in which to accumulate and exchange experiences, to read and argue for what the teachers have to say and the participants to report. Next we use the things we have learned on further explorations. Thus we apprehend that we must practice learning what we do not know. We go exploring to acquire new ideas – and we explore further to form better ideas.
