"An Investment in Knowledge Always Gives the Best Return" - Benjamin Franklin
Our Mission:
The Mission of the Franklin Institute is to accelerate, worldwide, innovative use of technology in education and training so that the benefits of knowledge acquisition are affordable and accessible to all.
View our links for celebrating the 300th birthday of Ben Franklin in 2006. Visit this site to contribute to lighting his birthday candles.
Our Undertakings:
Global Learn Day
Each October we host an annual 24-hour, non-stop round the world "voyage" which showcases highly innovative activities in education and internet technology from 24 time zones. In order to build an audience in the millions we involve community radio stations and local television. Rule One is to make it easily accessible, underpinning the whole show with heavy use of POTS, Plain Old Telephone Systems. It's a worldwide celebration of learning that opens in the South Pacific and closes in Hawaii; in between are education's all-stars on a stage as big as the planet. Please visit our banner presentation from Global Learn Day II, The Keynote Presentation by Dr. Terry Redding. More information about Terry Redding
The Franklin Ambassador Program
The Franklin Ambassador Program is designed to recruit approximately 130 very ambitious men and women to go abroad in September 2005. Overseas, their job is to help coordinate the celebration of Ben Franklin's 300th birthday, January 17, 2006. With their assistance, in more than 100 capital cities worldwide, Franklin Ambassadors will make Ben's birthday party the biggest of all time.
Socrates Academy
The purpose of the Academy is to award Socrates Prizes for significant achievement in education. The ultimate goal of this membership group is "to do for education what the Oscars do for the movies." Annual membership fees are only $25. Please join us.
Champions International Certificate Program
This Program is designed for highly motivated individuals who recognize the lifetime benefits that can only come by serious work and residence abroad for at least one full year. The core of it is an intensive immersion process in cross cultural undertakings where the work leads to practical knowledge about international training, trading and effective global networking. We call it a transcendent experience.
