European Democratic Education Community
The European Democratic Education Community, or EDEC for short, is a group of people who believe that kids should have a say in their education. They want schools to be more like a democracy, which means that everyone gets a vote and everyone's opinion is important.
In a democratic school, kids get to decide what they learn and how they learn it. They can work on projects that interest them and collaborate with their classmates to find solutions to real-world problems. This helps students to become more independent and self-motivated, because they feel like their voice is being heard and they have a say in their own education.
EDEC members want to promote democratic education across Europe and help more schools to adopt this approach. They believe that giving kids more freedom and responsibility in their education will help them to become more engaged and successful learners. This can also help to create a more equitable and just society, because kids from all backgrounds will have the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive and democratic environment.
