Worldschool from home: Why and how?

December 12, 2018 by Toria Leave a Comment

Worldschool from home: Why and how?

In a previous post, I explained my wanderlust dilemma. I love to travel, but my circumstances mean I cannot do this as much as I would like. I am a home educator and as such I am 'economically unviable'. My partner has a job he loves at our local hospital and his income pays for our way of life. I am thoroughly attracted to the idea of worldschooling and I believe it … [Read more...] about Worldschool from home: Why and how?

Natural parenting and why it is essential for the planet

Children are not our moral and intellectual inferiors. They deserve respect, just as much as adults do. And yet, so often they are verbally abused, denigrated, cursed at, chivvied, harassed and intimidated, usually by the very people who should be their greatest source of strength, encouragement and enlightenment – their parents, their carers and their teachers. Children are … [Read more...] about Natural parenting and why it is essential for the planet

Slow travel vs fast tourism: Fly less and see more

Getting the short-haul fix City breaks and fortnights in the sun are mainstays of our culture and treated more as a right than a privilege or a luxury. This is made all the more possible by cheap flights on budget, no frills airlines to common destinations. It now costs less to fly from the UK to many parts of Europe than it does to get a train across England, and in some … [Read more...] about Slow travel vs fast tourism: Fly less and see more

Digital nomads and the mass exodus from conventional life

Digital nomads and the mass exodus from conventional life

There is a movement taking place, of writers and artists and thinkers and creatives, musicians and activists. People shunning conventions and constraints, boundaries of time and place. Of course, this has always been so. There have been free-spirits and travellers, millennia of nomads. Now it's different. Less a continuation of a tradition, but a separation; a tearing apart of … [Read more...] about Digital nomads and the mass exodus from conventional life

What is One Planet Parent?

One Planet Parent provides inspiration for simple living, decluttering, saving money, travel and learning without school for people who want to do things differently.

As parents, we can nuture a generational shift in perspective and provide the skills, knowledge and motivation for young people to live well with less, create a connection to nature and other people, and to care deeply about the Earth. By ‘being the change’ we can lead by example.

Our planet is going to need critical thinkers, problem solvers, outdoor lovers, frugal living experts and environmental activists, not passive consumers and followers of fashion. Post-pandemic, we have an opportunity to create change and mitigate the mistakes of the past.
