No School Manifesto: A Movement of Creative Education

Tips from the unschooling movement: an inspiration tool for creative education

The unschooling movement questions traditional education through creativity. Curiosity, experimentation, unrestricted thinking, making and developing are basic elements of all forms of learning and living together. In the current educational system these values are frequently overshadowed by rules, bureaucracy and little attention to the intrinsic inquisitiveness of both the student and the teacher.

No School Manifesto enumerates key concepts, values and attitudes such as Curiosity, Magnetism and Zigzag through an A-Z lexicon, complemented by examples of students’ work.
