About

Welcome to Izmir School!

We are a research, education, and consultancy company with its roots extending to the ancient thought schools of the Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean. Our name is derived from Izmir City, located in a region where democracy, literature, and numerous other innovations have originated, shaping human civilization. We are committed to persistently tracing values that transcend from the local to the universal scale.

We transform the results of our research into two main outputs: education programs and consultancy services. 

We invest in the redesign of thinking to grasp the evolution of individuals, society, and the broader natural world. This commitment takes us beyond the confines of the desk, immersing us in the field and everywhere life pulses.

We believe in the power of dreams. We analyze the ecosystem where dreams are expected to flourish and craft concrete and effective strategies derived from this analysis. We do not settle for raw data. Instead, we develop new and resilient concepts, leveraging them to tackle intricate challenges head-on. 

We draw inspiration from diversity and believe in the power of collaboration. We not only learn from the research we implement but also from our fellow travelers and partners. We respect other innovative and creative teams around the world, forming partnerships to generate accurate solutions.

We piece together fragments. To minimize risks, we examine each issue through its historical and future context, along with its all current interactions. Regardless of the scale of the issue, we produce on-site, concrete, and applicable solutions.

We trust in people. We support the organizations we serve throughout their journey of redesigning and empowering their work.

Connect with us to elevate your strategy and drive exceptional results.

Caption for visuals

The Izmir School’s logo, a dual-headed goat, represents Anatolia’s long-standing defiance against singular, centralized thinking. 

The Izmir School explores the traces of collective living that humans have established in harmony with nature and with each other. Inspired by this collective ethos, we are committed to working toward the redesign of thinking and, thereby, shaping the future.
