Education Leaders Division
1.5 years training for creating the next Teachers and Educators
Here at SWave, we have developed a unique plan, that allows you to learn Education from anywhere in the world.
Our plan is spread across 18 months and is consists of 920 academic hours. the students will learn online with our
Minute Man system, the help of their Personal Mentors, and while implementing the Ultra Learning techniques for accelerated self-study.
Every 2 weeks, the students will gather to meet and collaborate on a study trip to a School, an Organization, our headquarters, and more. As part of our 'Method Of Excellence', We believe that the combination of online learning with the study groups creates a comprehensive and powerful Hybrid Learning process.
The training is made up of 23 modules in 4 different domains: Education, Education Philosophy, Hybrid Learning, and Personal Skills.
After the first year, each student will take on an internship in schools, NGOs, and organizations. Following our
Full Immersion Principal, the student will firsthand learn and will put into practice his skills and knowledge.

THE E-TECH FORUM
Founding Forum: Shaping the Future of Education
Uniting Education and Innovation for Global Impact
The Founding Forum marks the launch of a bold initiative to transform education for the 21st century. This intimate, high-level gathering brings together a select group of visionary education leaders, pioneering technologists, and innovation-driven thinkers to co-create new pathways for impactful, scalable change in global education systems.
At the core of the forum is a groundbreaking premise: education and technology are not separate worlds—they are two driving forces shaping the future of humanity. By building deep partnerships between education leaders and high-tech innovators, we aim to catalyze breakthrough ideas that reflect the complexity, pace, and promise of our time.
Forum Highlights
Vision-Driven Dialogue
Participants will engage in collaborative, thought-provoking discussions around the most pressing questions facing education today:
-
What kind of learning do our children need in a world of AI and constant change?
-
How can education systems become more agile, relevant, and inclusive?
-
What can education learn from the mindset and practices of startups and innovation hubs?
Cross-Sector Collaboration
Unique interactive sessions will connect educational leaders with tech entrepreneurs to identify shared goals and co-develop bold, actionable ideas. These conversations are designed to move beyond inspiration—toward the seeds of real-world joint ventures, pilots, and long-term initiatives.
Showcasing Global Innovation
The forum will feature insights and case studies from around the world—spotlighting breakthrough models and practices in education innovation, with an emphasis on scalability, adaptability, and equity.
Building the Global Education Ecosystem
A central objective of the forum is to begin forming a global collaborative ecosystem for education, modeled after successful international networks in high-tech. This ecosystem will empower leaders to stay connected, share knowledge, launch joint initiatives, and shape policy across borders.
Shared Vision & Next Steps
Through creative synthesis and collective design, the forum will produce a founding manifesto: a shared statement of purpose, values, and strategic direction for the emerging alliance. Participants will also define next steps, working groups, and ongoing channels for collaboration.
A New Chapter Begins
This forum is more than a one-day event—it is the foundation for a movement.
A movement to reimagine education not as a system to be fixed, but as a platform for innovation, equity, and human flourishing in an age of rapid transformation.
