OPEN LEARNING COMMUNITIES INSTEAD OF “CHILD-MINDING” SCHOOLS

OPEN LEARNING COMMUNITIES INSTEAD OF “CHILD-MINDING” SCHOOLS

Read Maria Geraki’s article Open learning communities instead of “child-minding” schools'” in AlfaVita.

It is based on the interview with Zoe Valerie, founder of Spring Academy, “Open Learning Communities” on the ERTopen radio program Education Matters.

It is in Greek. The automatic translation is interesting!

“Unfortunately, while we believed that by making education compulsory we would solve the issues of violation of the rights of minors, this is not the case. Solving the social problems arising from the lack of care of minors is a huge issue. We are looking for a solution and this solution is for all educational structures to be open to society. Spring Academy is trying to bring learning into society.”
