CORE+Powered by ChrysalisTurning Stories and Knowledge Into Learning, Interaction and Impact

OUR FOCUS

CORE+ (powered by Chrysalis) transforms stories, knowledge, research and expertise into interactive experiences that deepen understanding, spark curiosity and invite people to go beyond passive content consumption.

The process can begin with an Impact Story, a film, an archive, a body of research, an organization’s expertise or an important question. Relevant research, data, interviews, media and organizational knowledge can then be digitized, aggregated and organized within a trusted knowledge environment—making important ideas, insights and connections easier to explore and use.

From there, CORE+ can extend the experience through Learning Journeys, expert Residents, interactive tools, advanced and ethical AI, community participation and other pathways for continued discovery.

The goal is to make important knowledge more accessible, engaging and useful—and to create a pathway from story and knowledge to learning, interaction and impact.

OUR IMPACT

CORE+ expands what can happen after a story is told or knowledge is shared.

Working with CORE content and with partner organizations, CORE+ can preserve valuable knowledge, connect information that might otherwise remain fragmented, make expertise accessible to wider audiences, and create new opportunities for learning and participation across communities, schools, institutions and cultures.

Each partnership is different. The balance among storytelling, digitization and knowledge aggregation, interactive AI experiences, Learning Journeys, distribution, participation and measurement is shaped around the organization, its audiences and what it hopes to accomplish.

Through The Next Chapter, CORE can also explore what happens after initial engagement—what people continue to discover, how they participate, and where stories and learning may lead.

CORE serves as both hub and steward, bringing these elements together within one connected approach and helping important knowledge travel further, live longer and shape what happens next.

OUR MISSION

CORE+ sparks curiosity, fuels discovery and fosters lifelong learning and human growth.

We believe in the power of storytelling to open a door—and in creating opportunities for people to continue through it: to question, explore, connect, reflect, learn and participate.

By bringing together storytelling, trusted knowledge, human expertise and advanced technology, CORE+ creates interactive and engaging experiences for lifelong learners of all ages—and new ways for organizations and communities to share what they know with the world.

WEEKLY WISDOM

Small insights. A lifetime of learning.

Wisdom is not accumulated in a single day. It grows through small moments of insight. Each week, we share ideas that invite you to think differently, learn continuously, and live more intentionally.

FAQ

What is CORE+?

CORE+ is CORE's interactive learning platform. It uses the CORE documentary library as a foundation for structured educational experiences, guided by expert Residents, curated Learning Journeys, and community discussion — designed for curious minds of all ages.

Is CORE+ free?

Yes. CORE+ content is free to access. Some features, such as the interactive AI learning spaces and community tools, require a free CORE account.

Who are the CORE Residents?

CORE Residents are leading thinkers, explorers, scientists, and storytellers who serve as guides within the CORE+ platform. They host learning spaces, answer questions, and offer curated pathways into the subjects they know best. Current Residents include Roberto Dutesco, Cristina Mitty, Sebastian Copeland, Lawrence Blair, and Matthew Bishop.

How is CORE+ different from CORE Access?

CORE Access is CORE's free streaming network — watch films and documentaries anytime, anywhere. CORE+ goes deeper: it transforms that content into interactive learning experiences with expert guides, structured journeys, and community engagement. Think of Access as the library and CORE+ as the classroom.

What subjects does CORE+ cover?

CORE+ spans six areas: Culture, Global Affairs, Life, Nature, Philosophy, and Science & Technology — the same categories as CORE's original content, explored through an educational lens.

Who is CORE+ designed for?

CORE+ is designed for lifelong learners of all ages. It is also being expanded into schools across multiple continents and into the U.S. prison system, creating educational pathways for underserved communities worldwide.
