EVAE
2015, by Peter Hartkamp, board member EUDEC and a Sudbury Valley school founder
in Holland.
Last summer we were invited by Daragh McInerney to speak at one of
the largest gatherings of alternative education, EVAE 2015, from 18th to 23rd
August, near Madrid in Spain. About 300 people from all over Spain came
together to listen to the presentations, share experiences, talk about
education and have fun. Having the experience of many EUDEC conferences
and other meetings on democratic education, I found it really interesting that
people from many areas of education came together. There were many parents and
children looking for alternatives to the rigid Spanish education system,
home-schoolers, groups of people who started alternative, quite often
democratic schools, people from universities and also many teachers from
regular schools looking for alternatives. It was an amazing experience.
