A School of the Future Manifesto
- My school of the future is tuition free
- My school of the future is outside and inside, sometimes both at the same time
- At my school of the future I am the teacher and the student. We are teachers and students together.
- At my school of the future I get to use the curriculum of my dreams
- At the school of the future there are no walls and brick buildings, our classroom is our community
- At the school of the future, creative practice is celebrated and explored
- At the school of the future everyone fails, everyone explores and everyone asks the questions they’ve always wanted to ask
- At my school of the future my desk is my body, my pencil is my mind
- The school of the future, YOUR school of the future can happen anywhere and anytime people come together and learning needs to happen
Rules of Conduct
- Make mistakes; fail
- Look around you, soak everything in; up and down, backwards and forwards, diagonal and back again
- Use your creativity to solve problems
- Everyone is a student, everyone is a teacher
- Learning happens everywhere; embraces moments that feel right to you and share with others
I Want To Do This All Day: Redefining Learning and Reinventing Education
Audio Documentary
In the spring of 2006 we set out to investigate the living history of the
“radical learning” movement, and compiled our findings in this 2hr 30min
audio piece. The documentary uses interviews from 23 different learning
spaces to illuminate the grassroots movement of people and communities
taking power over their own education and creating learning environments
based on freedom, cooperation and social change.
