We are very excited to have Stefanie Mohsennia joining us all the way from Germany on Monday 27th June at 2pm. Stefanie will give a presentation on natural learning and all attendees will get a chance to join in the conversation afterwards. The event promises to be enlightening for anyone with an interest in education of all sorts.
“Learning
naturally!”
Presentation and
conversation with Stefanie Mohsennia
What would “Learning
2.0” look like?
How could learning be
more suitable to our human nature?
What would be favorable
conditions for young people to learn and grow?
“Schools
as we know them are obsolete” (Sugata Mitra)
“Children
are by nature smart, energetic, curious, eager to learn, and good at
learning; they do not need to be bribed and bullied to learn; they
learn best when they are happy, active, involved, and interested in
what they are doing; they learn least, or not at all, when they are
bored, threatened, humiliated, frightened.” (John
Holt, Freedom and Beyond)
