Inspiration

There are existing projects around the world that have explored parts of this vision — especially in the areas of practical education, ecological responsibility, student agency, and community life.

These examples are not models to copy wholesale, but points of reflection and inspiration:

A very interesting school in Russia - though I don't like everything about it (see some critcisms from European school students here):

Tekos



 Anastasia's dream forest schools of the future

"This is the basic foundation on which all methodological features of our work are designed. The whole purpose of our strategy is aiming at the following questions - Who are we human beings? What are we meant to be? What is the world around us? Who are we to the World? And what is the World to us? "

M.P. Shchetinin, director of the Tekos School in Russia

Tamera





It's an international school at an ecovillage - "Tamera" - in Portugal.

You can find more info on Tamera here: http://www.tamera.org

I don't like everything about it (Tamera, the school), but I like that the kids are learning practical things and learning how to survive - how to be autonomous/self-sufficient within their community: in ecology, food production, technology and building their own houses from readily available, natural materials.

It kind of brings together a lot of ideas of Permaculture....
