Ready to become refinedly educated ?
Consume the right content
Social media is an amazing tool to learn new things if you use it well. (Of course, we’re not talking of doom-scrolling on Tiktok with no goal, right). On YouTube, you can find plenty of videos about self-development, finance, psychology… You can learn every topic you’re interested in from start and at your own rythm. And for 100% free!
There are also many platforms other than YouTube where you can watch for free hundreds of documentaries : for example Arte.tv where you can watch documentaries and even ballets and operas entirely.
We’ll publish our selection of the must-follow YouTubers in our Instagram account and as an article before the end of the year, stay focused!
Read books
Reading has always been an amazing resource for the elites. Now that literature is accessible to everyone, we have an easy access to a huge range of knowledge. Some websites allow you to read thousands of classic books for free. Still, I will always recommend you reading on paper (if only for the sake of your eye health, because reading on a screen can be damaging). But also because reading a real book is more pleasant and creates a whole vibe.
You could start with some entertaining and short classics and some historical novels (read why these genres in our next article about books!).
See art
Visit museums, or just search some new paintings on google or Pinterest everyday. Then ask yourself how they make you feel, what they represent. You can use a journal to take some notes with the title of the painting, the name of the artist, the year and the colours used and the emotions you felt.
Then you can learn the technical terms and see what genre you like (Impressionism, pre-raphaelism, baroque…)
Listen to classical music
Classical music is not boring at all! And usually, the composer’s life is as interesting to learn about as their music. Take Tchaikovsky, Wagner or Mozart, for example.
For each mood, there is a classical playlist. Listening to operas and classical music is not only relaxing but also improves your musical sensitivity.
Go on cultural tours
Improving your culture can also be going to the theatre to see a classical play. Or watching a famous Christmas ballet in December. Or listening to an orchestra in an opera. These are very enriching experiences !
Also, participate in book clubs and art conferences to listen to other people critics and analysis.
Reading magazines (especially this one)
Last but not least, reading magazines is so important! For daily information to think about, topics that open debates, articles about culture, wellness and so much more! And if you’re reading this, congratulations! You’ve already found a new magazine that will help you in every area !
