We are no experts and we are learning too! Families that join must come with their children, their own computer and will be their childrens coaches.

Forest-play and nature days

Every other friday worldschoolers meet up to play and chat in the forest. We bring a picknick and just have some fun! We do excursions in the nature not only for play but to learn about biology. We have a nature-journal where we note down what we have learned. We visit an apiary farm, do bird watching, visit farms, learn about animals and plants or just meet up in the park.

Meet-ups

There are no organised other meet-ups but you are welcome to suggest something. We always welcome new worldschoolers and new local homeschoolers.

Museum visits and excursions

We do trips and museum visits once in a while depending on demand. As the other activities I organise on Prague worldschooling its entirely free. You just pay your own costs. As a group we often get discounts and can arrange special tours. Nothing is planned for this autumn but I would like to and would need an extra hand from a czech speaker organising it.

IMPORTANT - You need commit to activities at least a day before and for some you will need to sign up for.

Some recommended regular activities for worldschoolers

Kiddum Lego School - it is what it sounds. Classes for kids and a play area. Sign up at Kiddum.

Prague English Football club - Sign up at PEFS

A Maze in Tchaiovna is a wonderful place to hang out and play games, and they have some activities. Kid friendly and they accept bitcoin.

Trial arts and animation class

I have in cooperation with Luis Cerdas, a professional artist from Costa Rica that has worked with teaching children there, arranged a trial for an arts class on next Monday (14th) at 1030 in  A Maze in Tchaiovna near Hradcanska. It is easy to find - see the map on the link.

This is a wonderful opportunity to take part of an arts class especially designed for us unschooling families in Prague. The teacher is sort of unschooled himself so he understands what our kids are about and will put together a special programme for those that will join. The classes will be in blocks of 4 weeks. It is a family class - which means - be part of it! The cost will depend on how many that join, however it will be within a homeschoolers normal budget.

The central idea is to stimulate imagination and see what the collective interests are. We will work a lot with colours and with our surroundings (for instance we will not always be inside, we can also work with materials like leafs that we find in the park also. We will work with animation also, and make small figures in different materials. If we are many, classes will be held in the arts studio, and there will be access to a ceramic burner too.

Classes will be taught in english (also czech and spanish if your kids speak that). Its not suitable for under 4. I will need to know in advance - latest on saturday - which ones of you will be coming - so please let me know asap. You sign up by writing an email to us on the blog or on our facebook page (please let us know your email adress)

Here is an inspirational video by Luis - please watch it (starts about 30 seconds in)
