Let's talk about informal education!
For the first time, the Living Summer School is hosting a conference alongside its annual informal education program. This unique gathering will bring together European educators and youth workers from the margins of academia to share knowledge, insights, and experiences in various fields of study.
Explore innovative modes of knowledge sharing such as seasonal schools, residencies, hackathons, laboratories, floating universities, and construction camps. Discover how temporary and long-lasting initiatives are reshaping the roles of students and teachers, and redefining what a classroom can be.
During the public forum, we will present the activities of the Living Summer School, share insights from the two-day conference involving 30 local and European researchers and practitioners, and discuss findings, ideas, and challenges in informal education.
Our objectives are to foster the exchange of innovative educational practices, highlight the importance and impact of informal education, and build a network of educators and youth workers dedicated to redefining educational spaces and methods.
Register now and join us in exploring the future of learning!
