LEARNING FOR Institutions & Universities
Experiences that cultivate
creative
original learning
Our educational programs empower students to think and act with purpose. Rooted in the Origin8 Method, these experiences help learners reconnect with creativity, context, and purpose, by going back to the origins- transforming how they learn, collaborate, and create value that lasts.
Education today is at a crossroads. To prepare students for an unpredictable future, we must help them reconnect with the timeless principles that spark discovery, creativity, and human progress.
Going back to the origins is not about looking backward- it’s about finding the roots that allow new generations to grow forward with purpose and clarity.

What students can expect from our workshops
Learn by Doing
Students don’t just listen, they create. Each session combines theory and practice, allowing participants to experiment with real challenges and see their ideas come to life through design, collaboration, and reflection.
Learn a New and Validated Language of Design
By going back to the origins, students master a new way of seeing and creating- one inspired by nature’s intelligence. They learn to identify patterns, systems, and forms from the natural world, becoming fluent in regenerative and sustainable thinking.
Integrate AI with Purpose
Students explore how artificial intelligence can amplify creativity rather than replace it. They learn to use AI tools as partners in the design process, enhancing intuition, efficiency, and impact while staying rooted in human purpose and ethical creation.
Gain Certification and Belonging
Upon completion, students receive official certification recognizing their mastery of the Origin8 Method, issued by the Gaudi Foundation, and join a growing global community of creative thinkers inspired by Gaudí’s legacy and the power of original design.
OUR METHOD
We believe the way forward begins by going back- to the origin
Through the Origin8 Method, we help organizations cultivate creativity as a systemic force- not a department or a trend. Our methodology reconnects innovation with life itself: nature’s intelligence, human purpose, and collective wisdom. It provides teams with a structured, regenerative framework for ideation, creation, and decision-making. The result is not only better projects, but more aligned, conscious organizations capable of evolving with integrity over time.
An immersive introduction to Gaudí-inspired design thinking. This talk reconnects students with their creative roots and introduces the core of the Origin8 Method. Who It’s For: University conferences, art and design schools, or institutions seeking to inspire students through a meaningful and design-driven lecture.

For institutions seeking deeper collaboration, our Academic Partnership Program offers co-design opportunities where our experts work with your faculty to integrate the Origin8 Method into curricula, degree programs, or innovation labs.
These collaborations may qualify for the G-Inspired Certification- recognizing educational programs that exemplify originality, sustainability, and humanism.
