English Interviews

In this episode, Marissa talks with Jesper and Cecilie Conrad. This couple has 4 kids, and are very familiar with unschooling and world schooling. If you have ever wondered what unschooling is or isn't, this episode is for you. Marissa learned so much about how to still be the mother of her children, but release the control over their education a bit.

Interview: "The Conrad family travel full time, question everything, and choose a life based on their core values: love, adventure, personal freedom, and strong relationships. They join Amrit to share their journey to unschooling their kids, questioning what is truly important in life, and show us that this path to freedom is open to anyone who dares to take the leap into the unknown."

It's not for everyone, but some families say their children are thriving outside of traditional learning environments. Article by Resmi Jaimon, read on The National News.

Jesper shares his perspective of their family’s decision to unschool, which began when their now 15-year-old son tried kindergarten. We talk about Jesper’s move from an office job to working from home and some of the paradigm shifts that he’s experienced over the years as a result of questioning the mainstream path.

Cecilie joins Pam Laricchias's podcast series "Exploring Unschooling". Cecilie reflects on the amazing relationships that she has been able to cultivate with her four children as a result of diving deep into their loves and interests together.

Roxanne Phoenix, fellow worldschooler, award-winning filmmaker, singer, traveler, animals advocate, Kangoo-jumper, vegan & mum interviews Jesper about what made us take the step, how we took it, and a lot more. Enjoy the interview here.

Video interview: "In this special episode of Artist Date, we had the pleasure of chatting with Cecilie Felumb Conrad and Jesper Felumb Conrad from Worldschooling Nomads, where they share their story of traveling full time with their kids and their approach to teaching."

We attended the Worldschooling Summit in Granada, Spain, in 2019. There we met Jonathan Magnin, who helps people to learn to work online. Jonathan created a podcast series with digital nomads and asked if we wanted to join. Enjoy the interview here!

“If you look at how much of the morning goes into waking the kids up when they’re not done sleeping, getting them to shower, go to the bathroom, eat, arguing. ‘Come on. You need to go! You’re going to be late.’ They sometimes started to cry and I had to hurry to work with that on my mind.”

"Cecilie and Jesper Felumb Conrad have totally different education backgrounds and life experiences but over time they agreed that unschooling was the best choice for their family."

"My wife and I were in Denmark in the mid-1980s and I asked a Dane we got to know if homeschooling was allowed in Denmark. He replied why would anyone do that in Denmark? They could make whatever school they wanted. 35 years later there is now a nascent homeschooling/unschooling movement there. Is something rotten in Denmark?"
