Springhouse: Radically Redesigning Education from the Source

Description:

Education is the greatest leverage point we have to shift culture over time. Springhouse is a community in the Blue Ridge mountains experimenting for the past ten years in radical educational design change. In this session we will share our experiences about what is possible when we fundamentally shift the purpose of education to cultural restoration. Everything on the surface is different. When we share our stories with others globally, we have found over and over again that we inspire others to know what is possible in school, curriculum, and economic design and support them to take action.
