Session Description

Santiago Rincon-Gallardo’s keynote, “Liberating Learning: How and Why Now?” delves into the imperative of helping children, young people and adults to rediscover and reignite their power to learn. In his address, Rincon-Gallardo explores the urgency of reimagining pedagogy, learning environments, and education systems. With a keen focus on the current state of societal, political, and environmental collapse, he advocates for transformative approaches that liberate learning from conventional schooling. By scrutinizing the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of liberating learning, Rincon-Gallardo offers a compelling narrative that encourages educators to embrace innovative paradigms, ensuring education becomes a vehicle for building a substantively better world than the one we’re leaving behind. His keynote inspires a collective rethink of the essence and delivery of education.
