The content of the Cartoon Curriculum is similar to that of the Biomatrix Education Program and the Biomatrix Books, albeit from a different perspective. The education programme and books are more academic, while the cartoons should entertain

Purpose of the Biomatrix Cartoon Currriculum

Create awareness that a new worldview is needed

Chapter one describes the current thinking about how to solve the problems of the world.

This should demonstrate that current thinking and currently proposed solutions to problems are insufficient to solve them and that a new worldview is needed.
 

Encourage a shift in thinking

Most people resist new thinking and shy away from learning new ideas, especially if they are derived from a radically different view of the world. The cartoon format is an entertaining and light-hearted way of presenting difficult concepts and should therefore alleviate the fear of the change.

​

Teach w/holistic theory and methodology

In chapter two a futurist appears and explains to the kids that most of the current problems are co-produced by systems based on reductionist thinking and that they need to be transformed using a w/holistic methodology derived from a w/holistic theory (which are taught in Chapter 2 of the curriculum).

​

Make learning more fun

Cartoons contain pictures which add meaning to the words, engage the emotions and add insights, making learning easier and more fun for the reader.

​

Make learning more digestible

Cartoons allow a question / answer format of presenting knowledge, thereby making it easier to understand and digest new concepts.

Initiating societal change

The curriculum should inspire and encourage people to initiate the (re)design of the system of their concern.

 “Every beginning is an act of freedom”. (Novalis, 1772 – 1801)

​

Inspire hope

The curriculum should generate hope that COLLECTIVELY we CAN change our shared societal systems.

“Nothing less than the refashioning of the world is at stake”. (Novalis, 1772 – 1801).
