EP 97 School Circles -Every Voice Matters - review of sociocratic documentary

"School Circles is an independent documentary that explores the practice of democratic schools in the Netherlands. The film shows students, teachers and staff members coming together to dialogue, discuss proposals, mediate conflicts and make decisions about their school life.

These schools not only challenge the mainstream education, but also democracy as we know it. They put into practice Sociocracy, a method for collective organisation based on a systems perspective, in which the decisions are made by hearing all the voices and getting everyone's consent."

In this episode Brendan and Rob share their thoughts, questions and interest in circle schools and their progressive approach to school organization. 

We highly encourage you to watch the documentary. It can be found here:
