On this episode we speak with Traian, Ana and Corina of the Alternative University in Bucharest Romania. An institution that is updating what a University can be.

 

We discuss...

- How a school can serve as a coach as well as an educator.

- How an institution like a University can be flexible with its systems, structures and communities to meet an individual student’s learning needs.

- A student’s relationship with learning.

- How to foster self-directed learning and self-directed living.

- How developing a portfolio of real-life projects serves a person entering the workforce more than grades or a diploma.

-How learning must be connected to real life projects.
