Self-Directed Education
Resource Directory

Since 2020, we have grown into a global youth-led, adult-supported learning community dedicated to transforming education for collective liberation. Through conscious activism, radical reimagination and intergenerational collaboration, we seek to co-create a world where learning serves everyone—us, our communities, and the planet.

Why Is This Work Important?
We connect the many injustices and crises we face today to one system that continuously seems to fail us: the dominant industrial education system. Born out of colonial ways of knowing and seeing the world, these factory-like ways of learning foster a monocultural society. The narrative that has and continues to be promoted through our industrial education system is one in which we are separate from ourselves, each other, our more-than-human family and the planet.

Our Solution and Our Approach
Our solution is community. By building communities of care, online and in-person, young people start to see that they are not alone in questioning their education systems. They gain the confidence to ask deeper questions, and create innovative and thoughtful projects that they grow locally, while staying connected globally.
