Inspiration Day
Would you like to experience the freedom to learn at a democratic school and to use an egalitarian setting to take decisions in your (school)team or company? Would you like to start your own democratic school? Then joining one of our inspiration days might be a very informative experience.

Guests from Turkey, January 2019
Hatice Ilbay Soylemez gives a summary of the reaction from our Turkish guest on the Inspiration Day in January 2018.
It was quite a treat to be in the school for a day and to see how you ‘work’, or I should say ‘live’. What I like is that I saw how you share responsibility to create a comfortable space to be. Through the system of chores the living space remains liveable. Also the fact that young as well as old can address someone when things do not go right, and also that you can make a point in one of the circles, so you feel heard and understood. What a relief! I am still recovering from the immens mind shift I have made in my head 🙂 So much freedom and responsibility and still the necessary structure. And it works. Great how you stay attuned and sharp!

Thank you so much for organising the Inspiration Day. We are also very grateful for the hospitable, open-hearted and unreserved reception by the team and the students from De Ruimte. I have witnessed beautiful situations and gained insight in achievable goals.
