"Less is more" is a very famous expression. But the inverse, "More is less," is probably more applicable for the effective teaching of children. The more we teach, the less children will learn. Conversely, children can learn naturally and energetically once we learn to stop teaching them. This workshop examines some ways of non-teaching. As George Bernard Shaw once quipped, "He who can does, he who can't teaches". So come and learn how to stop teaching and start being.
