The Self Directed Learning Conference

The creators of the UnCollege Gap Year Program are bringing you The Self-Directed Learning UnConference this fall! This one day event will be a hybrid of keynotes, participant-led breakout sessions, and networking opportunities. The summit will kick off with a keynote presentation by Dale Stephens, Founder & CEO of UnCollege. He will speak about his experience as a self-directed learner, and how the tide in higher education is shifting towards self-directed learning. Participant-led Breakout Sessions will follow. Anyone is invited to apply to lead a session! We welcome creative topics and session formats, as long as they add to the dialogue on self-directed education. UnCollege Staff and Gap Year Fellows will be involved in contributing to Breakout Session dialogues, facilitating networking, and sharing their experience in self-directed learning. Whether you have taken control of your education, are an advocate for self-directed learning, or are just curious about how this movement is shaping the future, you won't want to miss this event. Get up close and personal with people who are leading this movement, and network with those who have found success outside of the traditional educational path. These are the movers and shakers!
