would consider ideal? The story of André Stern (FR) provides answers. Stern, born in 1971, is a musician, composer, master guitarmaker, journalist and author. His parents decided not to send him to school.

A BarCamp is a conference with no preset topic. Participation is open to all who are interested in engaging in a process of mutual exchange, discussing things with others and learning from them. At the planning session at the beginning of the BarCamp, everyone can present their topics. Then, there’ll be a vote to establish the day’s agenda. The BarCamp at u19 CREATE YOUR WORLD invites young and old alike to jointly configure the day’s lineup!
