**Big changes for Techne!**

First of all is mostly behind the scenes, but I have started using a program called Hugo (https://gohugo.io) for making the website, which will speed up my workflow. Not only that, but Hugo comes with themes that offer many features, including layouts that I can only dream of, built-in search function, menus, charts by code, etc. I'm really excited about it, and the whole site has a fresh new look as well. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!

There is also some new content as we progress towards version 0.4. Level 1, Topic 1: How to Use This Program now has an Intermediate level lesson, giving more advice on using Techne, making it easier, and making options clearer.

Science (Level 2, Topic 5) also got the Intermediate treatment (a bit out of sequence, but I was inspired), with not only more to learn about science itself, but full lessons on Chaos Theory, Evolution, and Ecology. So why these subjects then? They do all relate to many of the other topics in the program, and having a basic understanding of them does have benefits for your life too. If you want any more convincing, just check out the Why These Topics in the first lesson's introduction, or Why This Matters in each subject, just like with every topic in the program.

Announcement: Version 0.3 is complete and now available online here: https://techne-system.neocities.org 🎉
This may not sound like an impressive number, but it means that all 23 topics are now complete at the Bare Essentials level, making the program fully usable at this level. So feel free to give it a look and maybe a try. It's all free and there's no obligations whatsoever. I do however appreciate any (constructive) feedback. Let me know what you like, dislike,what works for you, what doesn't. This is meant to be an evolving system, always looking for opportunities to improve so that it works better for more people. I hope to hear from you!

What is Techne? The Techne System for Foundational Skills is a free and open education program designed to help people overcome barriers and reach their potential. In it not only will you learn skills for personal improvement such as Communication Skills, Emotion Management, and Critical Thinking, but also skills that can help you build and improve communities and organizations such as Community Growth Strategies, Planning vs. Emergence, Organizational Intelligence, and Systems Thinking, and more.

What Makes Techne Different:

Free and open to everyone. No paywalls, no gatekeeping. All materials are available to anyone who wants to learn.

Practical and actionable. Every topic includes step-by-step guides and practice exercises you can use immediately in your daily life.

The program is structured in three levels, each building on the previous one. You learn the basics before tackling complexity.

Topics reinforce each other—critical thinking improves communication, psychology enhances emotion management, and everything connects.

Always improving through public feedback and contributions.

Designed for Different Learning Styles:

- Each topic has several levels of depth you can choose.

- Minimal Topic Order. For the most part, you can learn the topics in whatever order you like.
