OOL_0029 Learning and Liberation

Ben and Genevieve are two unschooling teenagers who are setting out on a new project dedicated to youth liberation. The two will embark on a journey to explore various styles of unschooling and self-directed education. Ben and Genevieve plan to start at Not Back to School Camp in Oregon this summer and then hit the road to cross the country and gather stories along the way on the many lifestyles that families are living without school. They’ll then turn their findings into a multi-episode documentary series that explores the themes and stories of Learning and Liberation. Find out more and donate to their crowdsourcing: https://seedandspark.com/fund/learning-and-liberation#story 

Thanks for listening!
