What of a Learning Culture?

Culture and learning are not distinct nor separate phenomenon. Rather, learning necessarily requires its cultured base from which to purposefully and successfully operate. This is vitally true for the pioneering people of culture itself who ushered civilisation into being and developed its most magnificent and enduring examples. Void of their norm of highly cultured living the effective learning for construction, security and ascension from generation to generation would surely have been non-existent. And without effective learning nothing could have been continually built. Of course, neither was the case for this primary and spirit people of creation who – in rootedness of their cultural fabric – organised their lives in rightful order and exercised their essential activity of learning in relation to themselves and their ascension.

In contemporary times the term learning culture has been used to highlight pragmatisms of learning in respect of culture. According to a mainstream source this term attracts the following description:  

“A learning culture is one that embeds learning into how things are done in an organisation. This requires organisational systems, values and resources to be aligned with continual learning”.

Given this definition and in a state of interruption and disruption to the progressive norm of Afrikan life one may usefully ask: What and who’s organisations is learning a part of? And; Who’s organisational systems, values and resources are being aligned to a learning process and for what purpose? If the answers to the who and the what are totally outside of the Afrikan self then surely the Afrikan is at a dire deficit. In such a condition of disorder the Afrikan may be shoehorned into being void of the natural order of self throughout its various levels and left without any means of learning in respect of vital self-knowingness.    

Surely then, whatever else may be deemed compelling, it is for Afrikan souls to establish, secure and be an upright part of a self-determined organ in which effective learning for ascension of rightful order can be embedded and expressed. Here, the organisational systems, values and resources can also be self-determined in alignment with learning of self-knowingness for their optimal ascension. The onus is on this primary people of creation to fulfil their maximal potential and capability in their norm of flourishing civilisation.

To emphasise the point, let us for the moment set aside the word culture and replace it with the word civilisation (which is usefully interchangeable here). With this, the term of focus: Learning Culture becomes: Learning Civilisation.   Suddenly, the core driving thrust of imperative learning engagement and its self-determined substance of rightful order may come into focus. If the Afrikan is severed from knowingness of the norm of highly civilised living then how can the Afrikan live it? Only Afrikan souls can restore their rightful order of self-knowingness and service their upright organs missioning for their betterment. In this, it is apt to qualify learning culture for this soul people as Afrikan learning culture or indeed Afrikan learning civilisation.   From whatever station, level or status Afrikan souls can make a contributory step of progress by learning and learning more of themselves and their richly endowed experiences. Such learning can also empower security from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.

The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey envisioned that all Afrikan souls ought to hold a level of knowingness about themselves:

“If 400,000,000 [Afrikans] can only get to know themselves”.

Some level of upright effort in learning and is application from each Afrikan soul can be a mark of progression for grand civilisation to again be fully realised, this time secured into eternity.

The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
