Ethnicity and Economy, a Calm Lifetime Endeavour (Curriculum)

INTRODUCTION

This Training Curriculum constitutes the pedagogical and operational translation of the syllabus Ethnicity and Economy: An Effort Toward a Peaceful Life and the Informal Management Manual bearing the same title, both published by Arnaud Segla in the Economic Development collection of The Wisemen Council. Rather than representing a third independent publication, this document serves as a curriculum development tool intended for trainers, tutors, facilitators, and partner institutions wishing to deliver, in a structured, progressive, and assessable manner, the body of knowledge developed since 2009 by The Wisemen Council in the fields of ethnic and informal entrepreneurship.

Within this document, readers will find the fifteen courses of the original program (Course 0 through Course 14), reorganized into curriculum modules, each defined by learning objectives, expected competencies, instructional sequences, learning activities, educational resources, assessment methods, and bibliographical references. The Curriculum also incorporates the conceptual foundations specific to Arnaud Segla's work—the Lean Intention Philosophy, the Ka Method, and the Believe–Federate–Prosper–Share Cycle—as pedagogical frameworks rather than doctrinal teachings, thereby enabling any educational institution, regardless of its affiliation, to adopt and adapt the approach.

"To make the Informal Economy a Quality Alternative to the Liberal System." This proposition, championed by The Wisemen Council since 2009, finds in this Curriculum a structured educational expression designed to equip anyone wishing to transmit, in a rigorous and progressive manner, the knowledge and practical skills of ethnic and informal entrepreneurship. The present document embraces the dual foundations of the original work: on the one hand, a distinctly pragmatic approach to project management and business engineering (structuring, business planning, financing, launching, and consolidation); and on the other, an interpretation of informal Attitude and Philosophy that places the entrepreneur at the center of his or her own journey of economic reconstruction.

The Curriculum is designed for use in both self-directed learning and group tutoring, as either a short-format workshop or a complete program comprising fourteen modules plus one cross-cutting synthesis module. It may be delivered in face-to-face, distance-learning, or hybrid learning environments.
