Who We Are
The Ferdinand Centre (TFC) is a non-profit R&D initiative working to create and improve access to 21st century courses and learning materials focussing on education for Social Justice, for India’s students and their educators. The Ferdinand Centre prioritizes the originally European concept of a liberal arts education, the “humanistische Bildung” that sought to develop students’ humanity as well as intellectual capacities, which in our view leads to readiness for civic life, as well as for higher education.
