The Exploring Families
Rotating family gatherings across Europe for homeschooling and worldschooling families
- Next public gathering: Lake Garda, Italy, Saturday 20 March to Saturday 1 May 2027 (6 weeks; minimum stay 4 weeks).
What this is
Family get-togethers that move around Europe, organised for families who homeschool, unschool or worldschool, often while traveling.
Families with children of all ages explore the area together, share meals, play games, join sharing circles and try handcrafts in creative workshops, with plenty of spontaneous play in between. Parents take part alongside their kids throughout. The upcoming gathering is a spring stay at a lakeside resort near Lazise on Lake Garda, Italy, with a four-week minimum. Families book their accommodation directly with the resort, and one participation fee covers the whole family.
Best fit for families who want to settle into one place for a few weeks and build friendships that last beyond the gathering.
