The David Gribble Archive : Talks

Within democratic education systems young people show responsibility, concern for others, imagination and good judgement - qualities that are inhibited when values are imposed by adults.

Democratic Education is a growing movement, it is now being offered by over 200 places in more than 30 countries. I have given talks on the subject in France, Italy, Japan, Thailand, Poland and Spain as well as Germany, Austria and the UK.

When giving talks in some languages I need to have a complete text before me, even if I deviate from it, and the talk at the University of East Anglia was written out, so these are available here. They are a useful introduction to the benefits and the evolution of a system in which teachers and learners work together as equals.
