RAMIN FARHANGI
Activism and Self-Directed Education in France
Ramin’s journey in self–directed education has included unschooling his own child, setting up École Dynamique in Paris, and his Enfance Libre initiative, a civil-disobedience movement defending the right to freedom of education in France.
Ramin Farhangi is a French unschooling advocate, educator, and community builder with over a decade of lived experience in self-directed education. He is the founder of École Dynamique in Paris, one of France’s first democratic schools, and has inspired hundreds of thousands via his TEDx conferences.
A father to a 9-year-old unschooled child, Ramin combines personal parenting experience with extensive work supporting learning communities, eco-villages, and family collectives across France. His work explores the intersections of freedom, responsibility, emotional safety, and collective governance—both in families and in communities.
Through his Enfance Libre initiative — a civil-disobedience movement defending the right to freedom of education in France — he mobilizes families to protect and expand the liberty of instruction, challenging restrictive norms and supporting families in claiming their rights to self-directed learning.
