"Can I Not Go to School?" reframes a taboo question into an opportunity for self-reflection, agency, and authentic engagement with education. Rather than dismissing student doubts, this workshop is designed to validate the disconnect students may feel between institutional expectations and personal meaning. Participants will also learn to distinguish between learning (alive, purposeful) and schooling (mechanical, performative). The workshop aims to empower participants to make conscious choices about their educational journey and inspire renewed engagement through authenticity rather than obligation.
