October 2025 - Worldschool Village Tarragona
Our vision is simple: to create community for families traveling with teens. We want to invite like-minded families to move into the same neighbourhood, creating a temporary home base and community for teens people growing up on the road. One month at the time, new locations every time, staying true to our nomadic hearts.
The first official Worldschool Village will take place in Tarragona, Spain, in October 2025.
It’s just the right size—big enough to be exciting, small enough to feel safe. Do not hesitate! Just join us.
We are facilitating community through events, walks, wisdom sharing, cultural deepdives. On top Village will include a fancy teenage party to celebrate this amazing life.
Teenagers from all over the world can come together and enjoy real community, yet staying true to their nomadic hearts.
Catalonia in October will be the beauty of early fall, the last heat of the summer, the mangos, the sunsets at the beach, the music - and for all of us it will also be the blast of Worldschool Community.
Tarragona was chosen, as we, The Conrads, who are organizing this event hosts, really like it and it hits the sweetspot between big enough to be fun, small enough to be safe, old enough to be interesting, and a few other factors, like the weather being nice in October.
We needed to just go ahead and do it, as the community creation is in high demand, not the least within our own family. So, here you go: First event of the Worldschool Village project has set sail. We, The Conrads, have booked accommodation, and an anchor point has been chosen. We are so ready.
Get your ticket here, and join us for the month-long neighbourhood of community, including wisdom sharing, weekly shared walks, a week of inviting newcomers, a fancy dance, Suit up Sundays and more.
🎟️ Worldschool Village Ticket 180 EUR/family

Facilitation of community hosted by a long term nomadic family. We can of course not guarantee your experience to be anything specific, but we CAN guarantee options are there.Wisdom
There are so many elements of the life of the nomadic teen, that differ. So much to talk about! The veterans will share their experience and research, paving the way for those who are newer to the community. We will talk about parenting teens, about education, finances, the future, love life, relationships. First weekend we dedicate 3 sessions of wisdom, to get the ball rolling. Over the following weeks, conversations will flow, and we will all grow.Information
Become part of the core community. We will create a WhatsApp community which will go live at the latest September 1st. And if there is interest for it, we are also considering creating a village-site where we all can share where we stay, who we are and how to connect.Creating Memories

Invitation to the fancy dance for teens only on Friday the 17th of October. It will be a blast.
💃 Note: The Fancy Teen Dance will have an additional cost of €25–€50 per teen (13+), depending on the venue. We’ll keep it as affordable as possible, but we will need to rent a space and decorate it to make it truly special, so there will be a small extra cost.
Where will we be? ... Join us in Creating a "Village Square"
One of the most magical things we’ve experienced during longer stays as worldschoolers is the feeling of living in walking distance of one another. We’ve tried it. It works. There’s a special kind of ease and spontaneity that comes when you can simply stroll out the door, wander toward a shared space — and bump into a familiar face.
That’s what we call the Village Square.
Not a literal square with market stalls and fountains (though we love those too), but a central meeting spot — a park, a bench, a patch of shade, a little rhythm of presence. A place where people gather because it’s there, not because there’s a scheduled event.
🧭 Our current favorite for the Village Square is Parc de Camp de Mart.
Camp de mart is surrounded by everything we need to make community life flow naturally.
Just across the street you’ll find Parc de Saavedra, a shaded green space with a lovely children’s play area — perfect for younger siblings and relaxed family hangouts.
On the other side of Camp de Mart, there’s another park with basketball courts and room for teens and young adults to meet, shoot hoops, and connect.
Camp de Mart itself has:
Open green spaces for spontaneous meetups and slow afternoons
Shady trees and plenty of seating
Outdoor exercise equipment
A central location within walking distance of the Old Town and beach
We think Camp de Mart and that part of the town, also called "The Old Town" will become a great epicenter of our Worldschool Village — a natural gathering point, our “village square,” where the community can grow from presence, not pressure.
Whether you're stopping by for a morning coffee, a sunset hangout, or a quick play break with the kids — this is the place to start and return to.
We believe this will become a natural gathering point — but of course, we value freedom. Teens and young adults and adults will create their own rhythm. Another corner of the city may become “the spot,” and that’s part of the magic.
We also expect the beaches to play a big role — especially Platja del Miracle, just below the old town, and Platja de l’Arrabassada, a short walk further up the coast. Sunsets from Punta del Miracle are stunning, and perfect for evening walks or impromptu gatherings. Our own place is a walk from Camp de Mart, and we’ve found that this range — walking or very short commute — works well for staying connected.
So when you look for a place to stay, think like a villager: close to the rhythm, close to a square, close enough to drift into something unexpected and wonderful.
The circle you see above marks a circle of a approx 10 minutes walking distance of Camp de Mart. Tarragona is a small and lovely city, and most places within this area are easily walkable.
We recommend looking for accommodation in the lower half of the circle — closer to the Old Town, the beach, and the likely heart of village life. That way, you’ll be within easy walking distance of the park, gathering spots, and spontaneous meetups.
We have found our place - come join us!
We, The Conrads, have booked our Airbnb right on Plaça de la Font.
It’s in the heart of Tarragona’s Old Town, just a 5-minute walk from Parc de Camp de Mart, where we imagine the Village Square will naturally take shape. We know another family who lives just 3 minutes away who have 5 children, 3 of whom are teens. Come join us :)
Plaça de la Font is one of those places where you instantly feel the rhythm of the city. Built on part of the old Roman circus, the square is lined with colorful facades, buzzing cafés, and that relaxed, timeless vibe that makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. A perfect spot for those casual morning coffee meetups.
We chose this area because it puts us close to everything — the park, the sea, and most importantly, each other.
We recommend finding something within walking distance of Plaça de la Font or Parc de Camp de Mart. But if you’re happy with a short commute, local buses and Uber make it easy to stay a bit farther out. It’s all about what suits your rhythm — each to their liking. :)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Worldschooling Village Only for Families with Teens?
Not at all — it’s a village, not a program.
That said, most of the families who “move in” for the month have tweens and teens, and our focus is to hold space for that age group — because we’ve seen how much they thrive when they get time together. Adolescence brings new needs: independence, deeper conversations, late-night walks, and freedom to connect in their own way. We want to create a rhythm that supports that.
But like in any real village, there’s a mix. Families, of course, come with younger siblings, older siblings, and even grown-up kids visiting. (We, The Conrads, travel with our three teens — currently aged 13, 17, and 19. We also have a grown-up daughter, aged 26, who visits us on our travels from time to time — and we hope you’ll get the chance to meet her and her wonderful boyfriend. 😊)
IIf your oldest child is under 10 and you’re primarily looking for a community for younger kids, this might not be the best fit. But then again, some families who’ve already confirmed their stay have kids aged 8 and 9. It’s a village — you can bring your grandma if you like! So if your 8-year-old is a sibling to a teen or just loves tagging along in multi-age groups, there will absolutely be others like them around.
We’ve created the Village to reflect what we and our teens miss — that powerful, natural connection teens crave. But we also welcome the full rhythm of family life. Villages are, after all, for everyone.
What if I can not come for the entire month?
That is completely up to you. Everyone is welcome for the amount of time they can come. The ticket price is the same for everyone, as our work is more or less the same, no matter how long you stay.
Many European countries have a week of school holidays in the fall, in what we Danes call weeks 42 and 43. These start on Monday, October 13, and Monday, October 20th.
We expect a few families to join for one of those weeks only. This is one of the reasons for the fancy dance on Friday the 17th, as this would make it possible for more people to join :).
For some, an entire month is perfect, for some it is too much, and for some it is not enough. You choose how long you want to stay. There will shortly be a beta calendar out. For now, there are two focal points in the calendar:
Conference second weekend - Friday 10th, Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th: Fancy teen dance on the 17th.
Whether you're with us for one week or the entire month, you are part of the village.
What am I paying for?
You are paying for the community creation, the facilitation of an IRL social life, especially for the teenagers. Included in the prices is
Invitation to a wisdom sharing/conference on the topics relevant to this specific lifestyle
Invitation to weekly hike
Invitation to weekly immersion in culture (A trip to a museum, music or something like this)
Invitation to a fancy dance for teenagers only (13 and up, being 20 years old or more is fine if they want to be part of the group)
Invitation to the WhatsApp community
Tickets to museums/sites are not included, and expenses for the fancy dance are not included.
What if my oldest teenager is no longer a teen - i.e., 20 years old or older?
We cap the fancy dance on the young side; only children age 13 and up are invited. We have good experience with this. Everything else is for everyone. On the other end, we do NOT cap it, if a teen has crossed the line into his or her twenties and still wants to join the dance, he or she is welcome, no problem. Our oldest son will be only a few months away from his own 20th, and he will for sure also join the dance in the coming Villages, after he turns twenty.
What if I don’t know anyone? What if my teen is shy?
The world schoolers tend to be very social and open-minded people, including being good at making friends fast. Some of the families who have already booked know each other already, and some are new to the community. It is all good. We can, of course, not guarantee your personal experience, but there is no reason to think you will not have a blast and make a lot of new friends. If you do not know anyone already, you can make more new friends than we can!
