This is an open call to build an International Community for Freedom of Choice in Learning
The movement to secure the right to choice in learning is still weak in terms of state and transnational coordination. Unity and Consistency is required.
We are gathering and mobilising
groups, organisations, projects, families and individuals who want the right to choose in learning either through:
the right to full pedagogical autonomy
the right to pedagogical autonomy as a way to create/institutionalise learning communities
worldschooling
the creation of formal and informal learning structures
substantial reform in the public sector
We are designing a transnational legal alliance
to represent a transnational community.
we are developing a legal strategy of association while maintaining the autonomy of the individual ventures towards the creation of an Interstate Union, a critical mass of citizens capable of bringing about social, political and legislative reform securing the right to choice in learning for all.
giving communities a legal form is part of the legal strategy. We are doing so for local communities. A transnational community with a legal form is needed.
We are creating an International Free to Learn Register
of individuals & organisations towards the joint/collective execution of the necessary mobilizations/actions. Your subscription here is also a subscription to the Register. We are calling for its co-development.
We are writing an International Appeal for the redefinition of education
and are calling for its co-development.
We are building a digital home for Free to Learn.
We are practicing the freedom of choice in learning.
We are meeting regularly
to collaborate and coordinate for meaningful action.
Our experience so far has shown us that to succeed it is necessary, collectively:
for adults and minors to represent the movement together rather than adults representing minors
to succeed beyond economic-social borders
to practice whatever is a recognised human right and legal NOW
to make the right known, respected and normal THROUGH its practice
to have a common line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the EU’s proposals and with all the international agreements each country has already signed
the study for this has been completed
to systematically report violations within both Education and Welfare jurisdictions
to create the capital to make this field of work sustainable and for the legal actions necessary
In short, in order to succeed, we need to allow nothing to separate us and to coordinate for educational autonomy with the practice of everything that should be legal and public. At the same time.
The idea that the former should be done first and then the latter has not worked.
If you wish to be an active member of the community please sign up.
We have been running hybrid monthly coordination circles which will now merge with larger community gatherings.
More on future meetings soon.
