The “ Papillon ” [“Butterfly”] educational concept supplies the content for global learning in the 21 st century and is a free learning method which grows with knowledge like a living organism, and constantly reinvents and renews itself. Imaginative multimedia learning environments are offered and depicted in an initial online school book with this educational content. A concept that connects worlds; multimedia, intercultural and interdisciplinary as well as classical education and New Media — intelligently networked! The Papillon method works on the base of keywords and transforms teaching books into a huge dynamic ecosystem of knowledge.

This completely new digital learning method allows children to see our world in a global context, fosters an alert creative spirit as well as analytical abilities, teaches playful learning and motivates students to develop their own ideas, and can also provide help for self-help in the best sense. In addition, the project not only imparts knowledge, but also forms the entire personality. Students and teachers work together in an educational network, and garner the opportunity to be brought up to the latest standard of knowledge. Papillon is an example for new paths of imparting knowledge in the 21. Century.
