Our guest for episode 2, Season 2 of experimentQ podcast is Oleg Muromtsev - a physicist from Saint Petersburg, who turned his a passion for education, music, and community organizing work into beautiful projects that change lives. Through a chain of events and continuous learning efforts, along with other like-minded people in Moscow, Oleg co-founded Metaversity - a self-directed, community-powered learning platform, focused on the holistic understanding of human nature.
We met Oleg, during the Euro podcast tour in the spring of 2018, via a recommendation from Pavel Luksha of Global Education Futures - an international collaboration platform for shapers of transformative global education initiatives. Pavel, if you are listening - gratitude for the link.
The interview was recorded in April of 2018, at Dom Srednii, the coliving space where we had the opportunity to be guests for several days. Listen to this episode to discover a detailed model for organizing and assessing self-directed learning programs, the story of coliving spaces in Saint Petersburg and a charming Russian storytelling accent.
