An educational platform for living knowledge.
Knowledge passed directly from one person to another.
The Loss of Unique Knowledge
Carriers of unique knowledge (aged 70–80) are passing away without leaving a way to transfer their experience. Modern platforms sell content rather than create connections between generations. In the age of AI-generated information, there is no environment for passing on lived experience rather than learned knowledge.
Connection Between Generations
Knowledge gained through real-life experience is better transferred through direct communication than through books, lectures, or recorded courses. That is why we are creating an environment where experience becomes a living dialogue between generations.
Knowledge Transfer Between Generations
The platform brings together open heritage and educational programs. Everyone can freely explore living archives — video conversations and their transcripts. For those who want to study topics in greater depth and apply knowledge in practice, educational programs are available in various formats.
We are creating an open space where living knowledge is freely passed from person to person, preserving the experience of generations.

channel subscribersThe gap between generations and the loss of living knowledge are global challenges. Holders of unique practical knowledge (scientists, healers, and practitioners aged 70–90) are passing away worldwide without having the opportunity to transfer their experience in a form accessible to the next generation.
The project directly contributes to four global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the UN 2030 Agenda:
| SDG 4 | Quality Education |
|---|---|
| SDG 10 | Reduced Inequalities. |
| SDG 11 | Sustainable Cities and Communities. |
| SDG 17 | Partnerships for the Goals (MNIIPUiO, BRICS). |
The project is based on research conducted by the MIR Research Center on the influence of the environment on human development. It is built upon the ODTOE theory and the concept of Transgenerational Semantic Connectivity (TSC), which explore how life experience, values, and meanings are transmitted between generations.
The annual loss of intangible cultural heritage. More than 50% of unique knowledge is not documented before knowledge holders pass away.
Meaning-related patterns are transmitted across generations. TSC is a scientifically validated mechanism.
Formula B=F·E·(1-σ)·Λ: behavior is determined by the environment. An environment that enables knowledge transfer transforms people at a systemic level.

FAQ
MIR is an educational platform that preserves and shares living knowledge from person to person through conversations, archives, and educational programs.
We collect not retold information, but the personal experience of people who have spent decades in research, practice, and life experience. The focus here is on living dialogue, not lectures.
Anyone whose experience, research, or life journey can be valuable to future generations. Age and profession are not limitations.
You can join Living Circles, recommend a knowledge holder, support the project, or share your own story.
Yes. Living conversations and the knowledge archive are available openly as part of cultural and intellectual heritage.
Unique knowledge disappears together with its holders. MIR creates a space where this experience is preserved and made accessible to future generations.
