Beyond Borders is a small community of teachers, trainers, facilitators, Scrum masters, and Agile coaches, brought together by Francis Laleman and Michaela Broeckx. Most of all, we share friendship, but also some of our work, helping each other out when and where we can - based on a somewhat common approach and a shared stance on what learning means and how learning is done best. Our sources and inspiration are not just educationalists and agilists. Oh no. We are continually taking teachings from, for instance, Tadao Ando, Augusto Boal, Peter Brook, Paulo Freire, Masanobu Fukuoka, Kenya Hara, Safdar Hashmi, Jacques Lecoq, Joshi Oida, Yanagi Soetsu, Rabindranath Tagore, Sivasailam Thiagarajan "Thiagi" - and many others from the worlds of educational practice and theory, learning games, theatre, architecture, design, crafts, arts, and even agriculture. Apart from our work in organizations and communities in Europe, the Middle East, the Arab World, South and East Asia, and South America, we are deeply involved with the Anand Community and Jeevan Deep - a community development and educational project in Bodhgaya, Bihar, India.
