Hamr time

David Hamr is a well known Czech broadcaster and radio journalist. He produces programmes about social trends and culture and is particularly passionate about alternative education. Based in Liberec, in the north of the country, he operates out of Český Rozhlas Liberec radio station which has three fully equipped sound studios.

Recently it was my pleasure, during a week of teaching at Technical University Liberec, to take some time out to record a series of interviews with David that will be broadcast in the coming weeks. The programmes will go out both in English and Czech.

We discussed a range of topics around my new book Digital Learning in Organisations, and focused on new technologies in education and training. David was particularly interested in the idea of 'unschooling', or in Ivan Illich's terms, 'deschooling' of society. We talked about the implications of this and several alternative approaches to education. It was a wide ranging and eclectic conversation, and I'm looking forward to hearing the results, once David has edited down our words into programmes for radio.
