South Africa is finally getting its first conference on reimagining learning, self directed learning and building learning communities. This will be a blended family conference with presentations; workshops; round table, informal, small group discussions and funshops. We will – with your participation – try to simulate, as far as is possible, what a learning community could look like. The magic begins on Saturday morning and will end on Sunday evening at around 5 (for those of you that are driving/flying out of Joburg). There will be a liberal supply of hot drinks and cold water (plain and fruit infused), sumptuous lunches, teatime delights, a mouth watering dinner on Saturday evening and of course snacks and smores for the late night festivities. Delicious food, beautiful venue, inspiring ideas and awesome people – a recipe for a magical weekend.
The weekend will be about answering these burning questions:
What is learning, how do we learn, what are the options for learning without schooling, what are the alternative learning spaces, what are the long term implications for higher education and career options, how do we build a learning community, what will it look like, how do we let go the fears and design our own learning paths with confidence and commitment.

If you are already a homeschooling or unschooling family, or you're in the current system and looking for something different, this is an incredible opportunity to ask all the questions you've ever wanted to ask, to meet other people living and learning in different styles and making it work, and to connect with like-minded people.
Mia Von Scha will be presenting a talk on AUTHENTIC LEARNING.
In this talk you will understand how and why we all end up imposing our own values onto our children; how by living authentically yourself, you will free your children to pursue their path and purpose in life; and why depriving children of the freedom to focus on what is most important to them can lead to ADHD, addiction and low self-worth.
You will also understand why your children are likely to have very different values from your own and why this is essential for a healthy family system.
In this talk we will explore how our brains naturally work in our favour to assist us in learning what is most important to us and how we can work with this to enhance our own natural genius. By the end of the talk you will come to appreciate why unschooling is the philosophy of choice for raising fulfilled, inspired and emotionally balanced children.
