Dana Bennis has started a website specifically devoted to promoting democratic education and can be reached personally at dana.bennis@yahoo.com. Dana has a long standing interest in democratic education having studied it in several countries and being part of a democratic school. He advocates giving students voice in decisions about their education and their school’s operation. You will find much useful information and news at the site.
Another important development in democratic education is the annual meeting of the International Democratic Education Conference, held this year August 11-18 in Vancouver. Jerry Mintz provides a write up in his free newsletter under item #2. John Loflin provides a detailed account (IDEC 2006) of the conference. DVDs are also available
