Check out a couple of the many sessions that will take place at the AERO Conference. 6/27-29 in Manchester NH. Register here https://lnkd.in/dzsW-6n. Group rates are available. "Why We Need Freedom and Democracy in Education NOW!" Education is the foundation of our future, but too often, it’s limited by outdated systems that stifle creativity, critical thinking, and true learning. At this conference, we’ll explore why it’s essential to embrace freedom and democracy in education—so that every learner is empowered to self-determine their education. The conference is open to anyone interested in learner-directed approaches, freedom, and democracy in education. It brings together youth and adults from all over the world and features keynotes, breakout sessions, pop-up sessions, networking, vendors, and more.
