Description:
The European Democratic Education Community
(EUDEC) is a growing network of schools and
individuals dedicated to the democratisation of
schooling and education in Europe.
Its aims:
To support all forms of democratic
education throughout Europe
To promote democratic education as the
sensible educational model for all democratic
states
To establish, in legislation, the right
to found and attend democratic schools and to
provide aid and support to democratic schools
and start-up groups
To facilitate exchange of information
between democratic schools in Europe and create
connections between schools for cooperation and
mutual learning
The idea for a network grew out of the
cooperative planning efforts for EUDEC 2008,
which has involved an active group of students,
teachers and organisers from the UK, Germany,
Denmark, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands and
Finland. One of the central aims of EUDEC 2008
is to launch this new network as a means of
continuing the dialogue and exchange between
individuals, schools and organisations involved
in democratic education in Europe. The first
general meeting of the European Democratic
Education Community will be held during the
conference wrap-up session. All participants are
invited to attend.
Membership is open to schools, organisations and
individuals.
