When the World Is on Fire: A Free Learning “Playlist” for Times Like These
When the world feels like it’s burning, politically, ecologically, emotionally, the instinct is often to consume more information. Scroll more. Download more. Try to keep up. But more content isn’t what we’re missing.
What we’re missing is connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the lineages of wisdom that remind us we’re not facing this moment alone.
That’s why we created “When the World Is on Fire”, a free Portal resource “playlist”.
It’s not a course to complete or a productivity tool to optimise you.
It’s a small, intentional collection of resources designed to be returned to slowly, like a path you walk more than once.
It’s not a course to complete or a productivity tool to optimise you.
It’s a small, intentional collection of resources designed to be returned to slowly, like a path you walk more than once.
It’s also a glimpse of what we are trying to build here at The Portal, a way for all of us to create new learning paths that can be shared. This playlist is a glimpse of that approach.

- We Can’t Have a Democracy Without Informed Citizens - a conversation with critical theorist Louisa Toxvaerd Munch

Resource
We hope this small collection serves as a fortifying and soothing balm, because we need learning ecosystems that support connection, care, and collective intelligence. Let it be your place to pause, return to, and remember you’re not alone.
