2nd International Conference on Education for Real-Life Learning, UK

Event Time: 
Thursday, 19 June 2008 - 8:00am Europe/London - Saturday, 21 June 2008 - 5:00pm Europe/London

How people learn in real life is much richer, more varied and more interesting than any learning theory, and quite different from the kinds of learning that are demanded in schools and colleges. If education is to be an effective preparation for a learning life, we can learn a lot from people who have discovered how to write songs, make money, create recipes, design experiments or school horses. This Learning Life 2 is a three-day exploration of how to narrow the gap between formal and informal learning.

Summer Holiday by Will Jarrard

Will's mind map.JPG
Description: 

This outstanding Mind Map was done by Will Jarrard when he was 16 years old on a holiday trip to the UK and Paris with father, while Jennifer was working on a contract in London. The reference in the Mind Map to Toad Hall is our visit to Tony Buzan's office on Harleyford Manor estate, which was a model for Toad Hall in the book Wind In The Willows, which Will had read many times. This Mind Map was presented as a gift to Tony and Jennifer, and has been seem by people all over the world. What makes this special is that at the time Will had been kicked out of school on the basis that he was not able to concentrate due to his ADHD problem. Do you think the school was the one with the problem?
