Our vision is simple: to create community for teens growing up nomadically by inviting like-minded families move into the same neighbourhood, creating a temporary home base and community for young people growing up on the road. One month at the time, new locations every time, staying true to our nomadic hearts.Â
We are facilitating community through events, walks, wisdom sharing, cultural deepdives. On top every Worldschool Village will include a fancy teenage party to celebrate this amazing life.
Families with Teenagers from all over the world will come together and enjoy real community, yet staying true to their nomadic lifestyle.
Thanks to the Project World School Family Summits and the Worldschool Pop-Up Hubs, we have enjoyed meeting many likeminded people traveling with teens, in Granada (2019), in Normady (2023), Krakow (2024) and Budapest (2025), many long-term traveling familiesâespecially those with teensâhave experienced just how powerful it is when young people get to spend a substantial amount of meaningful time together.
We look forward to meeting you and connecting with you.
Love
We will built out our FAQ along the way, right now these are the question we are most often asked about
The vision is to create a village feeling for families travelling with teenagers. We have travelled for seven years, and we personally have three teenagers. We see a lot of people travelling with younger children, but the families with teens are rarer. Our own need, and the need of the community, align nicely: We need to get together with the older ones and create a space for them to hang out and be teens together.
A Worldschool Village is a community project, not a teen retreat. It is families coming together because it makes sense, to create great days for everyone. The majority of the teens arrive with their families: parents, younger siblings, sometimes grandparents or aunts/uncles. It is all good and fine, everyone are of course welcome. It is a free world.
The focus is on the teens, but the community will arise from those who are there. This happens in our experience spontaneously, thorugh the whatsapp group or over morning coffee plans are made and suddently things happen. Magic the gathering games, sunrise yoga at the beach, morning coffee, movienights - all of that stuff happens, and does not need to be planned.
The ONLY teen exclusive event is the fancy dance. If you have a child younger or older than the teenage-years, reach out and we can discuss the specifics. Everything is always contextual.
No. We believe in freedom, and each family do what is right for them. Some are classic homeschoolers, some are unschoolers, some worldschool, and some have their children enrolled in some sort of online school.
How you do this, is totally up to you, we ourselves are unschoolers, and don't do school. But be who you are :)
Not everyone have the freedom (or Schengen days) to come for the whole month. This is totally fine. It is a village. Some people move in for the whole period, others come for just some weeks.
If you only can attend one week, then it is also OK. We are a welcoming bunch, and are planning weekly activitives like a Weekly Walk where many will join.
We worldschoolers are, by nature, always on the move. Curious. Exploring. We create and maintain friendships easily, and enjoy an international circleâkids and parents alike.
This is a beautiful life.
But stillâwe need to gather.
City life offers what teens need. City life has education, thrift store hunts, art museums, nightlife, sports, long afternoons in parks, libraries and concerts âand in the case of Worldschool Village the chance to connect with others who live this wild, free, unconventional life.
Just like VR, documentaries, and Google Maps canât replace actually being there, Zoom and WhatsApp and the like canât replace real presence.
We want to breathe the same air.
Hear the same concert.
Share the same sunset.
Hold hands. Hug. Laugh. Talk. Learn. Exploreâtogether.
At the same time we are not settling, never stopping. Weâre not slowing down. Most of us are nomadic because we simply can not live in any other way. We need the change, we need the travels, we need new and unexplored. At the same time, we need each other, community, togetherness.
And let's face it: this is hard to create when you never stay long in the same place.Â
Worldschool Village fills that gap. Itâs the missing piece that allows this lifestyle one to stay the number one best option.
We begin by living in the same area.
Families stay in walkable neighborhoodsâAirbnbs, small rentals, vans, or nearby homes.
Being close makes all the difference. Teens can roam, meet up, and live real life together. The anchor point will be a public park or beach, open and safe and available for everyone to gather on a daily basis.
Morning coffee at local cafes, running into each other on morning runs, shopping at the same markets, sharing the experience and being near each other creates a space for community, spontaneity, friendship and companionship in the best of ways.Â
A conference will be held the first weekend of the Village. We gather to reflect, talk, and support one another. The conference will cover the most important and hard questions to answer for nomadic families with teenagers. It is a different ballgame from when they were little!Â
Themes are:Â
The parent teenager relation - how to navigate independence, love, trust and the future.Â
Finances: how do we make money on the road, and how do we teach our kids to do the same
Education: What about higher education? How do we get them ready for that, while not letting go of our freedom
Veteran worldschoolers share their stories. Professionals share their wisdom. Newcomers ask questions.We hold space for deep conversations that help us grow as families and a movement.
At the end of the third week, we throw a big, fancy teen partyâAmerican prom style, with a European twist.
Dress up, dance, and celebrate.
This is about honoring the young people growing up in this global, freedom-based way. We could call it a graduation party, everyone winning the prize of living an amazing life - together.Â
4. Welcome newcommers
We were not always experienced travellers, and we were not always so confident. We have benefited a lot from attending events when we were new and want to make the community accesible for anyone who just want to dip a toe. In every event there will be a more central week, where we make more events and make it easier to penetrate the community, join, enjoy and learn.Â
