Targeting an April 2024, London UnConference. 100 - 150 people.

Tentative blurb:

We are hosting an UnConference on non-mainstream education. We invite to to attend.

Families, educators, curious people are welcome to attend for free. Travel grants and prizes available.

Date: Sat, 24 April 2024 | 9.30a to 4.30p

What is our aim?

The non-mainstream community is large but fragmented. There are few routes to share good ideas and best practices in person. There are limited events focused on the young people themselves.

To enable the non-mainstream community to share best practice ideas

To network home education and non-mainstream generally to enable talent and diversity to thrive

To potential link up peer mentors, career and university mentors to enable fufulling lives

To identify and ascertain particular needs and opportunities

Who is this for?

Everybody! In particular we would encourage young people and their families to attend but anyone who has an interest in education will enjoy coming along.

The non-mainstream includes many educational ideas that range - non-definitively - across: Home Education, Education Otherwise, flexischool, unschool, microschools; digital education, pedagogy in isolated and refugee situations, independent research and really anything to do with education and learning counts.
