Discussion with Marica Laščeková

Marica is a one of co-founders of Free democratic school Happy world in Martin (SK). She will be a great inspiration for all of us. It is very helpful for the change of views of society and classic teachers to have the possibility to discuss the different principles in alternative homeschooling platforms and in usual classical school environment troubles. It is a great opportunity for sharing of informal learning tools – and it is very helpful, if they could meet specialist from free school environment. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=564195725503045&set=a.557417699514181

Human Library – Albania

Concept of the Event: A human library is a public event that provides the public (visitors) to meet individually, or in small groups with a person representing an inspiring story (the book). During the talk, the visitor can ask any question to the person representing the book. The book is sharing his/her story. The books are not presented by their names but by the issues that they represent e.g., founder of the first community garden in Skopje, organizer of ecological protects in south Serbia, a woman working on gender equality in Albania. Characteristics of stories share during HL: community engagement, addressing actual issues, respect to intergenerational empowerment (involving books representing different ages). HL are directly responding to the set project objectives and contributing to its implementation by giving the opportunity to the visitors and the books to interact, to establish relationship, to learn from each other on personal level. Key characteristics of HL: N. of book: 10 N. of Visitors: 150 Duration of the HL: 4 hours https://bridgingcommunities.tumblr.com/
