Democratic Education Symposium

Through stimulating workshops, panel discussions and activities, educational constituencies — scholars, researchers, educators, parents and students — will examine and transcend boundaries that divide them. The democratic nature of this event provides an opportunity for all those invested in our educational system to interact outside of their traditional roles and seek common ground. Symposium goals include: a) acknowledging and empowering students and teachers to become the voice of education; b) creating a better understanding of what a democratic education entails; c) supporting all those committed to change in our current system; d) sharing what a true democracy in our schools can look like; and e) nurturing students to become the confident, passionate, caring individuals needed to build a better future.
