A new and innovative unschooling conference is on the rise! The Autodidact
Symposium: a gathering for self-directed learners. Debuting March 12-14 of 2010 in downtown Columbia, South Carolina, The Autodidact Symposium will be a place for veteran unschoolers, novice unschoolers, and everyone in between to create social networks, find potential personal mentors, link up with friends, and find assistance with building a joyful family.
The Autodidact Symposium is a hybrid of Grace Llewellyn's Not Back To School Camp - a place for unschooling young adults to interact with other teens and find mentors to assist them in taking on meaningful, personal challenges and accomplishing big goals- and the popular unschooling conference - focussing on building peaceful and happy families. It is complete with funshops, discussion groups, activities, music, mentors, and presentations from these passionate people: Wes Beach, Blake Boles, Danielle Conger, Beth Fuller, Evan Hunter Wright, Brenna McBroom, and Sean Ritchey.
