WHAT IS VITADEMIA?
An online academy enabling learners of life to acquire fundamental life wisdom in order to grow and live a rich and fulfilling life, guided by retired professional coaches and mentors.
Vitademia aims to provide an extensive library of e-learning courses that tackle some of life's most difficult challenges. These courses are developed in conjunction with retirees who provide their wisdom through bite-sized, easily digestible modules.
Learners can "study" these courses in their own time online, whilst being guided by a team of dedicated coaches and mentors who specialise in the given subject.
Coaching and mentoring sessions take place live online via video conferencing tools such as Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom, etc.
OUR MISSION
Bridging the generation gap
Generation gaps have never grown so rapidly in human history amid the exponential growth in technology.
However, I strongly believe that we can lessen this gap by doing the following:
Enrich young adults by learning fundamental skills to confront the biggest challenges in their lives
Create empathy, solidarity and compassion between different generations
Tackle problems in society by creating dialogues between young and senior citizens
Develop greater appreciation for knowledge learned through life lessons
Empower seniors with essential digital skills to communicate effectively online
OUR TEAM
EGON WONG
Founder
Egon was born in Hong Kong, educated in the UK and now lives in France. With his multicultural background, he is multilingual in English, Spanish, French, Cantonese and Mandarin. An educator at heart, he has taught learners of all ages from the rainforest in Colombia to online classrooms for expatriates. In 2014, Egon ventured into the Educational Technology (EdTech) sector, enabling the digital transformation in corporate training programs for multinationals worldwide. He believes in technology as the major driving force in facilitating and shaping the future of education. Yet, it is the human interaction, the teachers who are at the heart of education and plays the fundamental role of leaving everlasting impressions and inspirations to learners. With this in mind, Egon is on a mission to bring teachers and learners of life together in one place. This, is Vitademia.
