Over the weekend of the 15th May, the Learn Free Annual Home Education Conference went virtual due to the Coronavirus. Normally held in Coventry, this was the first year that I was able to attend. The ticket was only £12 and for that you get access to all the talks and discussion. And, as this year was virtual, all the content is still available for the next 6 months, so if it sounds interesting, you can still buy access!
Using the Whova app (that I hadn't even heard of before, let alone use) it is really easy to navigate the conference and see and speak to everyone you wanted to. The program was full with many speakers, including Dr Peter Grey the writer of Free to Learn, covering topics such as General Interest, SEND, Legal/Political Factors, Charlotte Mason, Secondary Education, Christian Education, Unschooling, Early Years, Numeracy & Literacy, Classical Approach, as well as some Just For Fun.
For the price, I thought the conference was amazing. I had thought about going in previous years, but with the girls dancing (there is usually a dance festival May half term, so can't miss dance lessons on the weekends leading up to it) there has not been the opportunity, so being virtual has been good for me. It also gave me a chance to catch up with old friends, some of whom I hadn't spoken to for years. If there is an online version next year, I will definitely go again.
