“transformative”

“The UnSchool has had a profound effect on me by redefining the way in which I view the world and altering my reflection upon past experiences. I felt continuously stretched and challenged, but ultimately transformed both personally and professionally. It has been the catalyst to inspire change in ourselves before we set out to change our worlds.”

- Mohammed Bashkeel, UAE, São Paulo Fellowship

“LIFE-CHANGING”

“The UnSchool was engaging on multiple levels; mind, body and soul! The experiences were immaculately crafted. Combined with the diverse individuals and groups we got to meet, interact, and connect deeply with, it was life-changing for me. I’m now seeing my work and life in a more connected perspective and will continue spreading the passion and fire I gained from UnSchool moving forward.”
