About the Masterclass
This Master Class will introduce participants to the fundamentals of transformational education as developed by Ba and Josette Luvmour, members of the core team at the Transformative Learning Foundation.
Drawing on decades of experience, their approach takes a holistic view of education—one that nurtures growth for both educators and learners, individually and collectively.
During this session, participants will
- Gain insight into how children perceive and organize their world.
- Explore practical ways to bring transformative education into practice.
- Learn how trust, presence, and authentic relationships foster emergent learning and transformative experiences in families, children, and educational settings.
- Engage with key themes, including the importance of connecting with students’ worldviews, designing relevant curricula, and cultivating holistic learning environments that support the well-being of both educators and students.
This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in homeschooling, introducing transformational education practices into existing settings and groups, or learning relational practices that will allow them to get the best for themselves and their students.
