Why Our Old Education System Breaks Children
Do you wonder what the education system of the future could look like?
In this revealing interview, Ricardo Leppe shares his vision of a revolutionary reform of the traditional school system. He talks about his experiences with children and parents, most of whom are dissatisfied with the current education system. Ricardo argues for more freedom and individuality in the learning process and observes that children develop their potential best in an environment where they can learn with passion and curiosity.
Learn from the perspective of a real expert on “learning” how sport, music and art should be integrated into the school system as central elements in order to foster children’s mental development. Ricardo is convinced that every person is individual and should learn in the way that suits them best. Be inspired and discover ways in which we as a society can benefit from a positive educational revolution!
This conversation is not only for committed parents and teachers who would like to help shape a better school. If you are looking for inspiration for optimal learning, or to better understand and support schoolchildren in your family, then this interview is for you!
In this spirit, we wish you insightful viewing!
Interview, 27 min Jana Witschetzky (Welt der Gesundheit) & Ricardo Leppe (German)
Who is Ricardo Leppe? Ricardo Leppe was originally an Austrian magician and memory trainer. As a child he was taught by his parents during long journeys. Through his work as a memory trainer he visited many schools and went on to give talks on alternative learning techniques. In April 2020 Ricardo Leppe founded the association “WissenSchafft Freiheit” (Knowledge Creates Freedom) and has since been helping a growing number of like-minded parents and teachers to found free schools – on the basis of up-to-date knowledge, with heart and with the needs of the child firmly at the centre!
