What is democratic Education?

The basis of democratic education is in certain rights of students, which EUDEC defines as follows:

In any educational institution, students have the right

  • to make their own choices regarding learning and all other areas of everyday life. In particular, they may individually determine what to do, when, where, how and with whom, so long as their decisions do not infringe on the liberty of others to do the same.
  • to have an equal share in the decision making as to how their organizations – in particular their schools – are run, and which rules and sanctions, if any, are necessary

Theme of the conference: a culture of dialogue

In democratic schools, dialogue holds a central place. Students and facilitators talk with and listen to each other, and everyone has an equal voice. Children and adults learn to express themselves and understand that their inner experiences matter. They also develop skills in deep listening to others, considering their points of view and needs.

A culture of dialogue gives a sense of belonging and can be a powerful tool for moving towards a world of justice and peace.
