Our philosophy is simple, yet creative. We are unique in that we are a community-led educational venture with the ambition to cultivate multicultural, global citizens for the needs of the 21st century. Our core values? Curiosity, compassion, and creativity.
By first going into schools and offering workshops on multilingualism, we then branched out into testing our workshops with adult learners in London and Paris. After finding that one game in particular generated a lot of laughs, conversations about languages, and a thirst for more, we decided to bring this to life through a standalone card game.
​
We still run workshops (Olea Createathons™) for corporates, universities and schools, however we will be concentrating on crowdfunding for Private Joke between May 22nd and June 22nd. If you are interested in a workshop for your institution, please reach out to us!
​
What’s more, our team of graduates and advisors from the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, are exceptionally well-positioned to ensure Olea’s educational content is at the forefront of education pedagogies. We aim to facilitate the UN’s SDG Goal 4.7 (see below).
