The Compass Fellowship seeks to develop three core capacities: seeing the world more clearly, reflecting on your values, and executing with intention. We believe these abilities are all essential, yet often neglected, skills in one's education. In today's world, these abilities are more crucial than ever for both navigating personal success and global challenges. With a 5 day intensive, we host an interdisciplinary space for intellectually curious and ambitious students to learn and practice these abilities alongside peers and world-class instructors. Through the program, Compass Fellows will leave with an expanded sense of the "possibility space" in their life while forming relationships that will help them continue their inquiries and execute their visions.
Compass Fellowship 致力於培養三項核心能力：「理解世界」、「自我覺察」以及「實現自身願景」。我們相信這些能力在教育中至關重要，卻往往被忽略。在當今快速變動的世界，無論是面對個人成長還是全球議題，它們皆是不可或缺的素養。透過五天的密集課程，我們打造一個跨領域、充滿啟發的學習環境，讓懷有好奇心與影響力抱負的青年，能與同儕及講師共同探索、思考，並在實作中培養核心能力。營隊結束之際，Compass Fellows 將拓展生命中的可能性，並建立能支持他們持續探索、深入提問與實現願景的長期關係。
Modeling, introspection, execution, are abilities generally not limited to specific subjects of study but are rather themselves parts of how Learning is learned. To this end, our curriculum pulls from wide ranging domains that affords different approaches to learning these abilities. Some examples to illustrate what we may cover:
理解世界、自我覺察和實現自身願景，這些能力並不侷限於單一專業領域，而是「學會如何學習」的重要素養。因此，我們的課程將跨越學科藩籬，從多元視角出發，可能涵蓋的主題包含：
Lectures alone are rarely sufficient for the integration of profound ideas. In composing a cohort of inquisitive, thoughtful group, we focus on small class sizes where we can dive into subjects of life, in or out of academics, that are often neglected. By living together for 5 days, we give abundant space for immersive dialogue that can go to depths usually unavailable. Great degrees of freedom is also given to participants to create or ask for the sessions they would find most engaging. The learning environment will be unlike most education programs, emphasizing our intrinsic interests as the compass for what we want to learn and pursue.
單向講授較難真正內化理念，因此我們將組成強調探究與反思精神的學習小組，一起討論往往容易被忽略卻深刻的生命議題。五天的共同生活，讓大家有充分空間與時間展開對話，創造難以發生在一般生活中的深度交流。營隊參與者也擁有高度自主性，可以提出自己感興趣的主題，甚至共同設計課程內容。營隊強調以自身內在好奇與熱情作為學習指南，整體學習體驗有別於傳統教育。
To illustrate with an example. Suppose a participant, Alice, is interested in becoming a more effective communicator:
Alice might go to lectures on “Modelling Communication Theory” and/or “Negotiations 101” in the morning, covering both theoretical and applied aspects of communication.
In the afternoon, Alice may go to a workshop called “Understanding Physiology in High Stakes Communication”. Inspired by the workshop, she decides to host a discussion group in the evening called “Sharing Personal Challenges in Communication”.
In the late evenings, she may choose to reflect on what she learned that day through journaling, or be in small group discussions organically with other staff and participants talking about why communication is an important subject for her.
舉例來說：
營隊成員 Alice 想成為更有效的溝通者：
上午，她可能選擇「溝通理論建構」或「談判入門」課程，學習理論，也理解其如何在現實情境中應用。
下午，她參加「高壓情境下的生理反應與溝通」工作坊，從中獲得新的洞見。晚上，受到啟發後，她主動組織一場「個人溝通挑戰分享」的小型討論。
深夜，她可能選擇獨自寫日記反思，也可以自然地與講師和同儕展開交流，討論為什麼「溝通」對她如此重要。
Those currently in university or between 18-23 years old, primarily from Taiwan. The cohort will have a broad range of interests and pursuits to form an interdisciplinary environment. To this end we are looking for applicants to demonstrate an interest and/or capacity for open and curious inquiry, model that which is familiar and unfamiliar, and introspective awareness. There are no other hard requirements like GPA or being in a particular major. Comfort with mathematics is recommended, but not a prerequisite. Two cohorts of ~20 students each. The program is free to attend, with meal and stay covered.
本營隊主要招募 18–23 歲青年，尤其歡迎在台灣的學生，由來自不同興趣與領域的申請者，共同打造兼具多元背景與跨域視野的學習社群。我們期待申請者展現開放探究、好奇推理、願意以模型化思維看待熟悉與陌生的事物，以及自我覺察的興趣或能力。我們也希望申請者可以從營中認識到新的共同趨向與興趣的朋友。營隊未設 GPA、科系等硬性條件；若不畏懼數學將會對你有所幫助，但並非必要條件。營隊分為兩梯次、每梯約 20 位學員。課程完全免費，並提供食宿。
Note that the program will be run in English, but most staff are proficient in Chinese.
課程主要以英文授課，多數講師亦能以中文進行基本交流。
