What We Do

Here are some things we're working on

COMMUNICATING:
We're creating a new initiative, the Green Media Exchange (GMX), to build a community of participation and exchange around the complex crisis of global warming. We want to connect multimedia artists and distribution channels, and make the content available to professionals, students, educators, and the public, to encourage faster programming and action on critical global topics.

INNOVATING:
The mission of the Learning Worlds Institute (LWI) is to promote and support social innovation, leveraging our arts-based innovation process to develop unconventional solutions to critical global issues. The GMX is our first core program; two others are our Arts-Based Learning for Science Education initiative and the Global Cultural Xchange. Find out more here.

What We Do

Creativity is a powerful business tool at Learning Worlds.

Learning Worlds springs from the intersection of art, technology, and business. In 1990, Yale School of Drama graduates John Reaves and Liz Dreyer began their collaboration by founding a non-profit arts and technology R&D performance lab. Their work on the integration of emerging media and long-distance collaboration attracted the interest of global technology companies including IBM, Lucent, and NTT.

In 1998, John and Liz created Learning Worlds to focus on developing initiatives and communication strategies for these and other high-tech organizations. The company’s structure continues to follow a theatrical paradigm that embraces collaboration and breakthrough thinking. To that end, Learning Worlds has built a diverse staff that includes business strategists, educators, developers, artists, and theater and film professionals. With a talent for technical and artistic innovation and hands-on knowledge of new technologies, Learning Worlds provides creative and strategic client solutions.
