Listen "Transforming Education: From Schooling to Learning - Stephen Harris"
Episode Synopsis
In this conversation, I sit down with Stephen Harris, co-founder and CFO of Learnlife, former principal of Northern Beaches Christian School (NBCS), and pioneer of learner-centered ecosystems, to explore what it truly means to rethink education from the ground up.Stephen shares why traditional schooling structures are struggling, what neuroscience now tells us about how humans learn, and why agency, safety, and relationships matter far more than curriculum.We also dive into the remarkable work happening in Rwanda, from community-rooted learning hubs to regenerative, sustainable models of education, and what it teaches us about adaptability, culture, and the future of learning systems.This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned schooling, sensed that children deserve something more alive, or wondered how we can create environments where every young person can thrive.→ Listen & subscribe on your favorite platform: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00Stephen Harris is an educator, innovator, and co-founder of Learnlife, an organization reshaping education through personalized learning, neuroscience-aligned frameworks, and ecosystem thinking.
