Tammy Mackenzie I am a mom, activist, entrepreneur, accountant, guitarist, and an alumnus of M.I.N.D. Alternative High School. I am working with RÉDAQ so that we can make it possible to have democratic schools in Quebec, and to open one on the North Shore of Montreal: CREA-Basses Laurentides. I am inspired by human rights, and by the dream that our children might have access to all that life has to offer. tammy@redaq.ca
L’enseignante Unetelle I am a public school teacher and unhappy in my work. I have a master’s degree in part-time remedial education. I am a mother of 2 and soon of 3. I am revolted at the proportion of children medicated against ADHD and passionate about the project to open a free or democratic school on the South Shore or in Montreal.
Joëlle Gaudreau (joellegaudreau@gmail.com) Joëlle is a resource teacher for children with special needs, holding a master’s degree in education and pedagogy. She is currently a doctoral student in administration and foundations of education at the Université de Montréal, under the direction of Christine Brabant. Her master focused on the experience of adults living in Québec who have experienced unschooling during their childhood and/or adolescence. Her doctoral research project aims to identify the elements needed to assess the fidelity of the implementation of the elementary section (6 to 12 years) of the Montessori curriculum.
Marilyn Rowe is the proud parent of a radically unschooled 19 year old & two grown step-children. Since taking her son out of school at age 7, she has been working to bring respectful parenting and schooling options to Montreal. Why is it not possible in a free and democratic province, to choose the education we would prefer for our children? Why is authoritarian schooling our only option? Given no options, her family unschooled. She is grateful for what she learned about learning, while still desiring to see the next generation of parents & children have more freedom to learn as they see fit. Marilyn is pouring the lessons of their journey into a book: Saving Our Kids, Saving Ourselves – a work in progress whose main message is that we can no longer raise & educate our children without room for their humanity. Changing this paradigm could change the world.

Olga Majed Tanios: Passionate about education and believing in education for ALL, Olga has a master’s degree in orthopedagogy and works every day to find solutions to meet the needs of every learner. She strongly believes that the current school system is outdated and that it should draw inspiration from the foundations of free education so that more young people regain a taste for learning. olga@redaq.ca
Élisabeth Dufresne est la Fondatrice de Pléiade Éducation qui vise à encourager la création d’initiatives éducatives s’inscrivant dans une culture permaculturelle humaine, c’est-à-dire des projets qui honorent la diversité des besoins des humains, peu importe leur âge. Pour Élisabeth, l’enfant est un citoyen d’aujourd’hui et non un futur citoyen. Sa formation de philosophie et méditation pour enfants [Fondation SEVE Canada 2018] lui permet d’accompagner les enfants en douceur dans la reprise de leur liberté et de leur dignité. Détentrice d’un certificat en design de permaculture [P3 Permaculture], elle puise dans le génie de la nature pour façonner ses initiatives. Elle œuvre au sein du RÉDAQ depuis 2017 afin de démystifier l’éducation démocratique au Québec. pleiade.co@gmail.com
