Imagine a big meeting where grown-up teachers, educators, and people interested in education from all around the world come together to talk about how to make school a better place for kids.
Now, at this meeting, they'll be talking about the concept of democracy, which is basically the idea that everyone has a say and can participate in decision-making. They'll be discussing how to include democratic principles in education, like allowing students to have a voice in the classroom or making sure everyone has an equal chance to learn.
This meeting is called the International Democratic Education Conference, where people from different countries come to learn from each other and share their ideas on how to make education more fair for everyone. They talk, listen, and learn from each other to make sure children all around the world have access to an education that values their thoughts and opinions.
