unschool review

can you spot the schooled?

Are un-schooling kids different than other kids? We asked some neighbourhood school kids for their opinions.

Well, it's finally taking shape, with just a few things to patch into the matrix: the National Film Board's CITIZENSHIFT web site has a dossier on unschooling, which includes some (four to be exact) very short videos produced by DIVA in partnership with Radio Free School.

The dossier is found (with more material being added) at citizen.nfb.ca/unschooling

Besides video, there is text, audio and images on the theme of unschooling.

Check em out. Be a good citizen. Or a shifty one. (Suit yourself)

One of the unschooling short videos we made, the Nature of Unschooling, is wrapped in bubble packaging and bound for India to be part of a film festival.

The festival, Re-membering Nai Taleem: Real Learning for the 21st Century' is sponsored by the very good people at Shikshantar - The Peoples' Institute for Rethinking Education and Development.

We are honoured to have received the invitation, and it fits well with our support for positive alternatives to some of the institutional forms that have lost relevance or legitimacy - mass education in this instance.

Citizen Cayley

 You will find a dossier on unschooling in the development stages at the National Film Board of Canada's CitizenShift web site. This short film features an interview with Kate Cayley, and eloquent spokesperson for the practice of unschooling. Kate is a Toronto-based writer, theatre director and teacher.

DIVA of course helped video and edit the interviews and short videos which will be uploaded soon to Citizenshift, with our Radio Free School family.
Enjoy, and take part!
