ivan illich: schooling, technology, and culture

The educationalist Ivan Illich had a lot to say:

Jay Doubleyou: homeschooling and deschooling

Jay Doubleyou: networked learning

Jay Doubleyou: schools as 'total institutions'

Jay Doubleyou: "The use of technology – for children above all – needs to be interrogated: Is it convivial?"

Jay Doubleyou: "As the market develops … education will become organically linked again into … family homes, workplaces, sports centres, town halls, reading rooms in pubs, debating chambers, book stores … but you won't see the youth ghettos we call schools and colleges"

Jay Doubleyou: deschooling society

Later this month, there'll be a webinar showing how very relevant he is today:

Ivan Illich: Technology, Education & Culture

Webinar

17

November

2020

Time

3pm to 5:30pm

Industrial society has created a new kind of helplessness: human beings who have lost the ability to meet their own needs and the needs of their community. This was the argument Ivan Illich made in a series of influential books about schooling, technology, and culture. 

In this workshop, Dougald Hine (co-founder of Dark Mountain and a school called HOME) will tell the story of his journey into the world of Illich’s friends and co-conspirators, how their work contributed to movements from Asset-Based Community Development to the Zapatistas, and how it can nourish the work of regenerative culture today.
