WE AGREE WITH MARK TWAIN,

formal schooling at any level can only provide so much. You learn what to think, but not how. You gain knowledge, but not experience. At UP, we believe knowing HOW is just as important as knowing WHAT and so we design learning experiences to help connect your skills to your purpose. We’re not talking abstract theoretical concepts but real tangible knowledge for translating good ideas into action.

Our gatherings are always infused with formats that provide learning by doing. We call it a "Mr. Miyagi approach" to skillbuilding. You may not know it at the time but when life calls you to wax on, it will be poetic.
