Encouraging Lifelong Learners Means We Find Learning Everywhere

In this solo talk, Katharyn Havens explains that homeschooling is not limited to academic subjects but serves as a training ground for lifelong autonomy. She shares how, while on holiday in Kenya, she deliberately seeks out local experts to provide her son with hands‑on learning experiences—such as cooking lessons and marine‑biology snorkeling sessions—aligned with their core value of nature. Havens emphasizes that life itself is the classroom: children must actively seek knowledge wherever they go, engage with diverse people, languages, and cultures, and not wait passively for information. Her message encourages parents to embed this mindset in their children, turning everyday experiences and travel into continuous educational opportunities.
