Shake Up The World

Introducing Che Vanni, Founder of Reimagined Leaning Centre based out of South Africa. So, Che is an active participant of the unschooling network. His Reimagined Learning Centre is based on the philosophy of putting children in the drivers seats of their own lives. They consider children as complete autonomous human beings, participating and involving in activities at their own pace. Some of the activities which children carry out in this centre range from cooking, woodwork, permaculture, bee-keeping and even gardening for that matter.

In these settings, the children and their parents repeatedly participate in 'unschooling', thereby making these centers a part of the local and international unschoolers networks, within which information and experiences are continuously exchanged.

Tune in to the podcast to understand from Che Vanni what he means by unschooling, and what it takes to redefine education from bottom up.

Today, for this episode of Shake Up The World Podcast, we have with us Kavya Rao who has taken up many hats in the past. She has worked as a consultant psychologist, teacher and also as a skill trainer for adolescents. Currently, Kavya works with Mamta Health Institute for Mother and Child, an organisation based in India where she develops awareness tools for maternal health and adolescent health.  As her interests primarily lie along the intersections of psychology and education, The topic of focus for this discussion would especially be surrounding the importance of mental health through awareness based education tools. 

We do a bit of a deep dive into her work through the organisation in terms of activity based learning approaches for pregnant mothers, adolescent teenagers and even parents. How can we help them become more efficient in handling challenges and remain resillient during times of stress?
