A weekend for sharing the challenges of non formal education.

Education sharing weekend 12th and 13th of July in Gort, co Galway.
A weekend for parents and children to share experiences and learn from each other.

This camping weekend is for those parents who are thinking or that already are living education in a non formal way.
Are you homeschooling? , Do you believe in free active education where children lead their own education and parents engage in the process with them ?
We are a group of parents who have been working and knowing each other in an educational and personal context for the past year and we would like to invite other people/parents that like us are exploring and learning to find more suitable ways of education for their children.
The idea of the weekend is to create a safe space where we can all talk and share our believes, challenges and ideas/concepts of education and to create links between us.

You will need to bring a tent, sleeping bags, food to share (to be discussed over the phone when you ring to confirm).

When: 12th and 13th of July, you can come the day before if that suits better, otherwise at 12 pm on the 5th.
Where: Gort, contact Martha for direntions or I'll post map/directions shortly.
