Education Board: How Where When?

How

Cherishing and Nurturing every weird and wonderful skill and interest
Through drive and activity
People: good tutors, figure heards, parents, friends
Actions: mistakes, moving and travelling
(Learning) by doing
With Props
By getting rid of discrimination
Passively by stealth
Aiming for mysterious outcome
Through standardisation
 By researching, doing and responding
Sitting reading, writing, arguing, move sitting kindness, fear,  leadership respect
Communication
With creativity at the heart of learning
Breathing, actions and thoughts
Collaborative exchange balanced with self-reflection
Through collaboration, community and dialogue
Wanting to know how and why... don't just accept that is how it is
Forcefully with passion
Engage with labour of Education
Transfer of knowledge/skills
By (not) spending money
Appropriation of the learner's body vs. the mind in the jar
By talking and listening to people
University, conversation, media, music
EARS EYES
The need to create in any medium
Interaction
Through experiences
Stimulation
Speaking, listening, reading, writing, storytelling,drawing, experimentating, measuring, recording, evaluating, decision making, watching, observing, lessons, lectures
However
By balancing openess and restraint
Doing... without fear of right and wrong
By simply being around the people who have the skill/energy you wish to absorb
By focused led workshop with openness and passion
Discussion
With goals and outcomes?
Trail and error through teaching understanding and explaining gradually.

Where
Whereever

Outdoors,
Everywhere!
Here
Everywhere
Adaptable space that can become...
Environment of equal contribution and conversation
Shrine/quiet place street studio gallery bar
Everywhere - specific places, school, college, libraries, museums, galleries, zoo, on holiday, (new places, cultures), at home, at a friends house, cinema, community centre, church, mosque, temple, etc etc etc
Deprived areas
At home
In the community
Publically - in the street/in a gallery/in the park
In a discussion with experienced people, inside or outside the classroom
My home, safe haven to think
At home
In a protected environment
A warm neutral space or somewhere biased towards a particular theme
Institutions, own headspace, unfamiliar environs - erasmus
Gallery space
College/university
Gallery, interest, university, natural environment
The street
Community Centre
The Pub

When

Deep discussions amongst friends, creates visuals
Ongoing and not limited to prescribed times and timeframes
Whenever
When you're with people of all ages
All of the time
Specifically when you are a child at home (from family, guardians)
From the time you are at nursery school to a young adult
Then you still are educated through various mediums of culture all throughout life
In continum
From the cradle to the grace but mostly on weekdays sept-june in your 20s
When it feels right - but requires time and commitment
Childhood
 ...You least expect it
Inside and outside the institution in the barrier between the two
Over time - requires duration
Now
Right before exams
Adulthood
All the fucking time since I was born!
Late night
Early morning
not after lunch
Forever
From birth til death
 Early mornings over breakfast
Feeling fresh and awake
Time - always/ongoing
When emotions are tested
With set backs!
With disappointments
Anytime
Relaxed
Together
Focused
On a work placement
