Alternative Education: Two major gatherings
School’s out for Summer?
Not for us alternative educators.
You have a choice: Albany and/or Korea.
From June 25 to 28, the Alternative Education Resource Organization organizes its Annual Conference in Albany. This year, Patch Adams, our advisor Khalif Williams from the Institute for Humane Education and Deborah Meier will be presenting.
And if you’re looking for something a little more exotic in your life, the People’s Solidarity of Alternative Education of Korea will welcome the International Democratic Education Conference this year. The focus will be on peace education.

Go get the popcorn
E-180 will be taking a new shift in the new media era: the online 7e art. We might not be ready to call ourselves the new Participant Media just yet (go check out facts on their great documentary Food, Inc), but like them, we do believe that a well told story could really change one’s perception on the world. Since we are dedicated to help people transform their education, to reclaim and develop their knowledge, we decided to find people that were doing so in their own way and capture it on video.
We are happy to announce the upcoming of our very first video podcast series. We dug hard and found some of the most evocative ways to illustrate how one can learn outside of school. You’ll discover that playing with your Playstation, finding a part time job or helping your grandmother with Thanksgiving dinner could shape your education… Our capsules will be presented here on E-180 and hopefully on a few other platforms (we’re working hard on that). In the meantime, here are some pretty interesting sites you can visit and enjoy very good videos on the various faces of social change:
- The Alternative Channel
- Pocket Films Festival
- Parole Citoyenne / Citizen Shift
- Business week on Twitter addictions
- Movie Ola
- Skoll Foundation’s youtube channel
- and of course…. TED
Be ready to add E-180 on that list soon!
