Here at Trade School, ideas are currency. The concept is simple: teachers put together a list of items, and students pledge to bring an item for payment.
It’s not everyday you can exchange freshly-baked cookies for speaking lessons, or a potted plant in exchange for yoga class.
TRADE SCHOOL MANILA is a barter-based learning community—where knowledge doesn’t have to cost you a pretty penny. Instead of giving cash, students can pay for their class in the form of a ‘barter item’ or gift, which they can choose from their teacher’s wish list.
This non-traditional learning model and new breed of teachers stems from a movement that emphasizes ideas as currency, while giving passionate individuals a platform to share their skills.
#TradeSchoolManila is a non-profit organization that fully runs on the generosity of its venue partners, volunteers, teachers, and community of learners. If you want to get involved with this revolutionary movement, here’s how:
You don’t need a PhD or fancy accreditations to teach a class. All you need is enough passion to put together a compelling class plan, and you can be given a chance to share your knowledge.
Get to meet an exciting cast of characters, and work closely with the teacher to help them facilitate their class. The best part? You can attend classes absolutely free.
Explore magic, basic calligraphy, content marketing, plant care and everything else in between. Sign up for a class and experience the joy of barter for knowledge learning!
