Interview with Charlotte Church, singer/songwriter and founder of The Awen Project

Описание: An interview with #CharlotteChurch at the #InspireEducationSummit 2024.

Singer-songwriter, actor, TV presenter and political activist, #CharlotteChurch is the founder of The Awen Project, a pioneering new model for #education, where young people are championed to be themselves and follow their passions as active participants in a democratic community.

Charlotte has led an extraordinary life, touring the world from the age of 12 to perform in opera houses and for some of the most powerful people in the world. She studied her academic subjects on transatlantic flights and did GCSEs in the White House.

Her vision for The Awen Project came as a mother balking at the unnatural way #schools organise children and systematically deny them basic freedoms. She embarked upon an extensive research and development project to understand how education was being done in the best schools in the country, from Springwell Learning Community in Barnsley, to Eton College. Ultimately it was Sands School in Devon that provided the greatest inspiration, and she founded The Awen Project as a charity to support democratic learning communities in 2019.
