Democratic education: a culture of dialogue

With great joy we invite you to the IDEC@EUDEC conference in Belgium!

  • Get to know a whole new approach towards education. 
  • Meet teachers, facilitators, children and parents from all over the world that are already part of a democratic learning community. 
  • Hear the latest research about  learning.
  • Learn about collective decision making, conflict resolution, non violent communication, neurodiversity, and… 
  • Exchange ideas and experiences with other teachers, mentors, facilitators and students.

Parents who are unsatisfied with the current educational system and that are looking for other options (democratic schools, homeschooling, unschooling), can get at the conference information, empowering insights and the opportunity to share experiences and connect with like-minded parents.

A lot of space for free play: forest, fields, a playground and a craft room. 

Children and youngsters are welcome at all of the activities of the program. Part of the program will be aimed especially at young people.
