London is Our Campus

London is an incredible Natural Park City, a museum, a peek into the future, a multicultural and multilingual hub, a treasure trove of libraries, a sensory extravaganza of tastes, smells, sights, sounds and textures.

Be Free

London as Our Campus is an experimental learning lab exploring how we may, together, learn freely in the city.

We work with young people who are on an unschooling journey: home educators and school refuseniks.

We meet once a week and engage with our city, following our curiosities and learning together.

It’s playful, it’s social, and it’s co-created

Love Our City

Each LiOC pilot runs through 3 phases:

Settling in and culture creation
Nourishing curiosities and engaging in an enquiry
Harvest and celebration

Testimonials

Discover what our participants and parents think about LiOC

“Perfect balance of exciting and safe“

“I am very happy. M is very happy. Love the friendships he has developed and this has become a very significant and important part of his week. All around growth for him. Thank you all for your understanding, patience and kindness. It’s been a real pleasure!“

“This is without doubt M’s favourite day of the week and he is desperate to get back to it! What you have created is unique, inclusive, gentle yet exciting and M’s independence and confidence have developed so much since joining you all. It is a wonderful thing to see it grow and develop and I really hope you can make it work for all of you to continue to offer such an amazing opportunity for the participants. Thank you 🤩”

“ Thank you all so much for making LiOC a safe, inclusive space. I love that the young people have been given independence, with an understanding that they may need adult support along the way. The fact that all the participants returned for the 2nd pilot is testament to how well the sessions are facilitated.”

“Please let there be a third LiOC! and fourth...fifth....etc etc!”

“LiYC nurtures independence in a supportive, friendly & safe environment."

“Thank you! You all worked so hard to make this happen and run it so smoothy - I really appreciate everything that you did and we REALLY look forward to the next one!”

“Very good, I liked all of it - it was fun. It was very different to everything else I have tried which was good.”

“It's amazing! It's amazing, safe, inclusive and respectful. It helped everybody engage, connect and share, and it helped people from different age groups be themselves. It helped me, a 26-year-old adult, thought about what I lost during my growth and expressed/explored some direct ideas.”

“All facilitators were very fun, very kind and very nice. They all listened to everyone and tried to do everything that everyone wanted to do.”

“It was great, felt alive and present. It showed me how being out and about as a base changes the focus of learning, adds more perspective to things. It was nice to feel part of the wider world and community. Felt like a lot was being learnt or understood just by default.” - Facilitator
