Welcome to the Wild Life Unschooling Podcast! I'm your host, Alexandra Kons, and I'm thrilled to have you join us on this exciting journey into the world of unschooling. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the unschooling practices in the diverse and vibrant… India!
Our special guest for this episode is none other than the esteemed Priyanka Modi, an education visionary and advocate based in India. I’ve been following her unschooling journey on LinkedIn for quite some time - and I simply fell in love with her engagement, her stories, and of course her adorable son Adi. Priyanka is also educating other parents, with her weekly newsletters and her page “Education Next”.
“He's quite convinced the way he wants to learn. He wants to explore different things. He cannot attend lectures, he gets really bored in lectures. He feels better if he has his own routine, he likes to talk about it. For example, today he has been into some cardboard projects since the morning. He's he's learning. He's doing his own thing. He watches videos and goes back, fixes it. And I know that no other center in the world can give him this kind of space to do the things that he wants. And I think Adi is not a child who would like to be forced to do things. He will just do it for the sake of doing it. And I don't want him to have an experience like that.”
In this episode, we'll explore the intriguing concept of unschooling and how it takes shape in the Indian context. Priyanka will take us on a journey through worldschooling real-life stories that define unschooling experiences in India.
