What to Expect at LIFE is Good Unschooling Conference
Main Presentations
Found in the Main Ballroom, each presentation is based on the perspective, insights and experiences of each speaker, shared from the heart in their own unique voice. Expect to laugh, cry, be challenged, and inspired, as you hear more about each person’s journey and what they have learned along the way. Parents are welcome to attend with their children.
Panels & Discussions
Panels and Discussions offer a unique opportunity to connect with experienced unschooling families. Dive deep into the world of unschooling by asking questions about its fundamentals or tackling specific challenges. Our moderated discussions feature parents who have successfully navigated the unschooling journey and are eager to share their insights.
Unlike larger presentations, panels create an intimate atmosphere for conversation and Q&A. Learn firsthand from seasoned unschoolers, including teens, as they offer practical advice and personal stories. These interactive sessions are both informative and enjoyable.
Funshops
Funshops will be set up for kids and adults alike who want to play, learn and share their interests! Drumming? Hide and Seek? ATCs? Arts and Crafts? Minecraft? Music? Bananagrams? Jewelry Design? We hope to have a little bit of everything. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, there's something for everyone. Our funshops are filled with creativity, laughter, and new experiences.Connecting with friends is great, but funshops are what make the conference… well, FUN! Want to share your passion? We encourage you to host your own funshop!
Special Events
From Cosplay Day to Better Than Prom Extravaganza these unforgettable experiences will create lasting memories and foster a sense of community. Don't miss out on the fun!
LiG Teen Scene
We have lots of new activities planned by and for our teen and young adult unschoolers! Whether you are new to LIFE is Good or a seasoned conference goer, we hope you will join us. Hang out with your peeps, meet new friends, have some fun, chill, dance, play, ENJOY.
