More and more, we are using the events of our days to drive our learning. Unschoolers learn through their natural life experiences, and I'm learning more and more how this type of learning looks as I try to separate from traditional schooling formulas.
The Dalai Lama was invited to speak in our town over 10 years ago and his visit was finally realized a few days ago. We read books on his life, spirituality, exile, and more. We also read about others who have received the Nobel Peace Prize. This event was an exciting opportunity that presented itself and drove our learning for the past few weeks. I continue to enjoy the freedom and flexibility to be able to focus on events happening right now without the fear that something else is being "skipped over" to make room for it.
