Future role of education
How can education contribute to creating a sustainable, neohumanist society?
This was the theme of an international conference in Ydrefors, Sweden, jointly hosted by the College for Neohumanist Studies (CNS) and GAP 12-14 July 2008. 40 participants from 26 countries had plenty of ideas, and a number of projects crystallized out of the meetings.
A summary report listing all papers and sessions is available on request, as well as the papers, and notes from sessions. Video clips will soon also be available.
So what IS a sustainable, neohumanist society? Well, that was one, very open-ended topic at the conference. For information about neohumanist education, as practiced by CNS in more than 1000 schools, kindergartens and children's homes in 50+ countries, see their site.
