The MetaPraxis Project worked with learning organisations to facilitate the conceptualisation, design and leadership of interdisciplinary learning projects in primary, secondary and tertiary contexts between 2019 and 2022.

The project responded to the design principles set out in the OECD Education 2030 project, focussing on those relating to learner agency and the concept of competency. A central focus has also been the development of meta-intelligence.

The MetaPraxis philosophy views social, collaborative, and reflexive interdisciplinary learning environments as natural contexts within which to establish and nurture complex capabilities, with significant potential to promote learner agency and the transfer of their knowledge, skills and understanding across diverse domains.
