OUR RESEARCH
Our research will inform our educational and narrative initiatives, while also evolving through insights gathered from these activities. We aim to collaborate with leading researchers, historians, policymakers in Mongolia and around the world.
OUR PROGRAMS
Thanks to the generious support from the Golomt Foundation, we recently launched our pilot program, the Knowmadic Arts Lab, bringing together 12 university-level students from across Mongolia for a 7-day immersive experience—2 days in Ulaanbaatar and 5 in Govisumber Province.
Our "Knowmads" lived alongside nomadic herders and took part in daily activities such as building a ger, milking cows, and collecting dung. In tandem, they engaged with seminal works by some of the world’s leading historians, philosophers, and educators. Through guided discussions inspired by Stanford’s Structured Liberal Education (SLE) program, they explored how to think critically and creatively about today’s global challenges.
We invited and hosted a group of leading educators, entrepreneurs, architects, and artists on a journey across the Mongolian steppe to explore alternative ideas and draw inspiration from the spirit of nomadic culture.
In the future, we aim to welcome more interdisciplinary groups of thinkers and doers—creating space for deep connection with one another and with nature.

NARRATIVE
Narrative and storytelling have long been one of humanity’s greatest strengths. A compelling story can unite people and inspire action. At New Nomad Institute, we seek to collaborate with leading artists, filmmakers, creators, architects, and designers to show why nomadic culture offers vital insights for addressing today’s most pressing challenges.
