Is play the answer to breaking through the broken educational mould? - A conversation with Peter Gray
Manage episode 424176839 series 2660944
Welcome back to The NatLifePod. I am thrilled to bring you today's episode with someone who has been a huge inspiration for our family dynamic.
In this episode, I have the honour of interviewing Peter Gray, acclaimed author of "Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life."
Peter's groundbreaking work challenges our western world templates of education and advocates for a more natural and self-directed approach to learning.
As parents, caregivers and educators, we often find ourselves caught in a system that prioritises standardised testing and questionable fact memorisation over the innate curiosity and creativity of our children. But Peter Gray's research into indigenous cultures, unschooling and democratic schools and his profound insights provide a refreshing perspective on the importance of play, freedom, and autonomy in a child's development.
Join us as we delve deep into Peter's illuminating work and explore the profound impact of unstructured play, self-directed learning, unschooling, democratic schools and the power of natural curiosity.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
