Biography
Mohini is from Gqeberha, South Africa. Their exploration of alternative learning started in 2017 when they officially left traditional school and embarked on their journey of unschooling. Since being unschooled, they have actively worked with and for various social justice organizations (Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion, The African Climate Alliance, and now YouthxYouth). As a young person who had the privilege of following their passions unapologetically, leading to working in wonderful social justice spaces, mostly intergenerationally, Mohini is left with what feels like a plethora of invaluable experiences that would have never happened if they had attended a traditional school. They have had the rare opportunity to plant seeds of their wildest imaginings at a young age and to nurture them through these years of unschooling - seeds such as; mental health, activism, and liberatory learning. At the 2023 YxY Learning Festival, they will be sharing their journey with unschooling, how they became unschooled, and where unschooling has brought them.
