Discussions are underway with the parliamentary groups.

Further to discussions with parliamentary groups, ALLI asbl wrote a complementary opinion and we hope that will lead to further collaboration.

10 top tips

Peter Gray in Luxembourg (EN/FR)
Befreit lernen / Free to learn / Libre d’apprendre 

The Optimal Context for Self-Directed Education Conditions present in hunter-gatherer bands and SVS, but absent in conventional schools:

1. The social expectation (and reality) that education is children’s responsibility.
2. Unlimited freedom to play, explore, and pursue own interests.
3. Opportunity to play with the tools of the culture.
4. Access to a variety of caring adults, who are helpers, not judges.
5. Free age mixing among children and adolescents.
6. Immersion in a stable, moral, caring community.

Immer wieder tauchte nach 1945 die Frage auf, ob es denkbar sei, dass es je zu einem dritten Weltkrieg kommen könne. Ich glaube, wir befinden uns schon mittendrin. Nur bemerkt es offenbar niemand, weil dieser Krieg nicht territorial, sondern zeitlich geführt wird. Wir haben einen erbarmungslosen Krieg gegen unsere eigenen Kinder und Enkel, gegen die kommenden Generationen, entfesselt. Wir werden ihnen eine verwüstete Welt hinterlassen, auf der das Leben für sie sehr schwer sein wird. Aber da sie ja nicht zurückschlagen können, fahren wir damit fort — wir können schon gar nicht mehr anders — und beruhigen unser Gewissen (sofern es nicht ganz zum Schweigen zu bringen ist) mit der Annahme, dass ihnen schon etwas einfallen wird, um unsere Gemeinheiten wiedergutzumachen. – Michael Ende Continue reading “Opruff fir en anere Bildungsmodell”
