Irena Vujcic Simunic will explore community-based approaches to learning — from forest schools and unschooling to flipped classrooms and mixed-age spaces. We’ll look at how education can become more collaborative, hands-on, and connected to real life — a model where everyone is both teacher and learner.
Steve Tauber will share how libraries are evolving beyond books — becoming vibrant hubs for sharing tools, skills, and community resources. Learn how tool libraries, lending networks, and repair cafés are building local resilience and fostering cooperation.
