Working in countries around the world, Tony Stockwell was able to exchange ideas with similarly minded experts in education and learning, such as Dr. James Asher, Tony Buzan, Prof. Dr. Howard Gardner, Prof. Dr. John Grassi, Dr. Georgi Lozanov, Prof. Dr. Lyelle Palmer and Prof. Dr. Charles Schmid. Through this collaboration, new ideas were developed which could be finely tuned and incorporated into the Stockwell Method.
