--------------------------
In this interview I’m joined by Richard Dunne to explore how evolving children’s education could not only offer them better engagement with their learning but also help them make better sense of the world that they’re a part of.
Many of the solutions that we discuss on this show require a bit of unlearning or shifting of the mindset from what we’re used to. So I became really interested in the work of the Harmony Project from the basis of integrating a whole system way of seeing things into children’s education from a very early age.
Perhaps our children could soon be showing us the way forward!
As headteacher in a state primary school and inspired by the book titled ‘Harmony’ by the now King Charles third, Richard began developing and implementing a more Natural curriculum within the National Curriculum.
He’s since founded the Harmony Project and is integrating this approach into a variety of school settings in the UK and across the globe.
I’m delighted to have been able to discuss with him the principles of harmony and the inspirations and challenges of this ambitious project.
