Culture of Learning and Unschooling – Dialogue with Dale Stephens, D3

Is the actual educational system good? Is college the only way of learning? This is what the MPC is all about. It is about finding new ways of learning, of creating a new culture of learning, a student-centered and self-directed learning. The traditional, teacher-centered, educational system is becoming more obsolete every day that passes. So, what is the future of education? That’s what we are trying to change at MPC. It is about learning how to learn, becoming a self-learner. On Thursday, we had Dale Stephens, a Thiel Fellow, as a guest on our dialogue. We discussed his new project, UnCollege, and his upcoming book, Hacking your Education. He thinks college is not the only way to become an educated person nor that college is the best way to do it. He is in favor of unschooling, of letting oneself discover and learn by life experiences.
