We are Living an unschooling life, with the believe that our children are naturally constantly learning in their own unique and strong way. We are consitent and Caring, supporting facilitators of their everyday life, ideas, projects and life experiences. We sacrificed many thing for Them to have a free , playfull childhood, full of love, creativity, and inspiration..
My husband and I have been together for 10 years, sharing a beautiful journey of life together as a strong team sharing values of trust, love, awareness, sutainebility on all matters. We are very interessted in personal growth, mental and psyshical health, barzilian jjiu jitsu, creativity in many ways, unschooling, claywork/ceramics, communication, nature and community..
Our everyday life is very free and spontanous - with some planned activities during the week. We create together projects of intrest, create workshops, do exploration of nature, meet up with the local homeschooling association for activities, visits museums, guitar-lessons, go swimming, doing jjiu jitsu, sharing time and fun with other unschooling families on the Island.

Help
We need support and help in the everyday life.
Mainly: spending time with our children, inspiriring Them with the skills, intrest and passions you have and following their way and ideas for the day. Share your languges, culture and experiences with them- they understand some german and English. Its is important that you are not affraid of the potential langues-barriere, but see it as a Nice Challenge to intergage with them.. Going with us on bike-rides, exploring Nature, making bonfire, playing boardgames, play Music, help cooking food, cleaning and doing garden work, water plants and help to build small recycled greenhouses for growing the early plants, do firewood.
If you on top of all of this are experienced in building in larger scale, you are very welcome to give and hand or two in renovating our House together with Nicklas- but its is not a demand only a bonus.
