THE AWEN PROJECT
The Awen Project is pioneering a human-centred model for education where children are valued as people in their own right within in a community. Our vision is to co-create a network of learning communities throughout the world where every human is valued. Our team of creative facilitators are developing a relationship-based pedagogy that will form the basis of a new model for education.
