Elenkus is a global online initiative founded by 17-year-old Raheen Fatima that introduces youth to the art of asking meaningful questions, of themselves and of others. In a time when technology is progressing faster than our imagination, Elenkus emphasizes the need to slow down and reconnect through thoughtful dialogue. Rooted in the classical Socratic method, this project invites learners around the world to hold on to the most human thing of all: the art of learning through conversation. Though not formally launched yet, Elenkus is a bold step toward reshaping how we think, speak, and grow together.
