The Facilitators
Christine Perry
Christine graduated in education from the University of Montreal. She is the proud mother of a 15-year-old. She has worked for more than a year as an educator at Les AS, a democratically-run centre, and has been part of our staff since 2019.
Marc-Alexandre Prud’homme
I am the proud father of an 11-year old girl. I teach as a part-time professor in education in different universities in Quebec and Ontario. I have been working at Mont-Libre since its start in 2017. My studies at both the master’s and doctoral levels have dealt with democratic schools and self-directed learning. I am one of the co-founders of the Redaq (Réseau des écoles démocratiques au Québec). I enjoy all kinds of sports, reading, board games, drawing and playing the guitare.

Daniel Stee
Daniel Stee has nearly 30 years of experience in education, the first 17 trying to change the educational system from within, and the last 13 learning to foster self-directed learning in diverse educational environments. He has always been committed to empowering individuals to create their own learning paths while building supportive learning communities. With a Master’s in Education and a background in creative writing, theater, music and the arts, Daniel believes in the transformative potential of learner-centered education. He emphasizes the importance of community engagement in developing collaboration skills for personal growth. Outside of his professional work, he enjoys exploring nature and creating diverse creative expressions. He started his journey in unschooling and democratic schooling when his youngest daughter wanted to get out of mainstream school, as he had wanted to when he was young.
Hyon Stee
Hyon, originally from Busan, South Korea, earned her BFA in visual design and worked as a graphic designer before leaving Korea to live in various different countries. She has diverse experience as an artist, educator, and art therapist, including work with language learners and programs for children with varied needs. About 15 years ago she began studying the therapeutic potentials of the arts, including completing a graduate diploma at the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. Hyon focuses on helping individuals, especially young people and elders, reconnect with their inner selves through mindfulness and self-expressive art. This work and supporting her youngest daughter in unschooling has also led her to her work in various self-directed learning communities.
