**At First Sight - A Concept of Educational & Entrepreneurial Excellence by Prof. em. Dr. Jürgen Zimmer** Whoever wants to apply knowledge creatively has to gain it sufficiently beforehand. Hence subjects and subject interrelations are both extensively and intensively studied. International curricula may be applied, but whenever appropriate with reference to real-life problems, in order to assess possibilities of application not in simulated, but in economically, socially and ecologically meaningful projects. Think globally, act locally: the Open Learning Village is connected with the world, works for international understanding, prepares both for national and world citizenship, yet maintains a local profile: Thailand is reflected in the school curriculum as well as in daily life, with its cultural heritage and its questions concerning non-destructive modernization. Sympathy and understanding for global concerns and the work of those international organizations which embrace such goals, a culture of entrepreneurship, the treatment of locally and regionally important developments such as the nature of tourism or ecologically responsible industrialization: in short, this is the School for Life to prepare talented, entrepreneurially-oriented young people for socially and ecologically responsible democratic leadership. To quote Confucius, it is far better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. ## [Concept](https://phuketer.com/s/00000600/wiki/196/concept) Chapters - **[1.
