Who we are
We, Soweto Home/Unschoolers, Growing Minds and Re-imagined Learning centre are a collective working on social change through unschooling, homeschooling and self directed education through and with community.
Soweto Home/Unschoolers
The Soweto Home/Unschoolers are a collective that’s been rocking Soweto for the past year. From hosting Akilah Richards at the Raising Free People event, to organising regular gatherings for crafts, horse riding, golf and always dreaming up ways for deepening community for a more beautiful future for our children and the community we live in.
Growing Minds
Growing Minds is an exploration of ideas on decolonising parenting, childhood and education. Ideas that are expressed through writings on the website and on and offline gatherings, including the Learning Reimagined Conference of 2017 and 2018.
