Learning From the World Through Worldschooling (w/ Lainie Liberti and Miro Siegel)

DESCRIPTION: Lainie Liberti and her son Miro Siegel join us on this episode to talk about worldschooling. 11 years ago, Lainie and Miro hit the road for what was supposed to be a one year adventure. Ever since, Lainie and Miro have been traveling slowly around the globe and learning from the world rather than from school. They join us to talk about what it looks like to learn freely from the world as well as Project World School, a program they developed to help bring the worldschooling experience to others.
