Mission Statement 

We've created an international online learning laboratory where learners and educators of all ages can come together in an online, self-regulated and collaborative learning community with the intent to learn and develop 21st century skills including, but not limited to :

• Critical thinking and problem solving
• Collaboration across networks and leading by influence 
• Agility and adaptability
• Initiative and entrepreneurialism 
• Effective oral and written communication
• Accessing and analyzing information 
• Curiosity and imagination
• Empathy 

Our mission empower a generation of learners and educators and help them prepare for the inevitable paradigm shift in education and in society as a whole. Each person can and must take responsibility and ownership of their education by using free, open-source tools to gain the knowledge, skills and networking abilities they will need to thrive in the information age.

The only requirement to join the Learning Pirates Fellowship is an open and curious mind, a will to learn something new and a strong desire to share, collaborate and be of service to the greater good.
