Creating bridges between the new and the old: living democratically in conventional schools
The Two Loops Model about paradigm shifts uses the term hospicing to refer to helping an old paradigm to die with dignity. In this session, Mia Schmallenbach, Derry Hannam and Charlie Moreno-Romero share their thinking about how public schools can bridge between the old and the new.
Mia is the producer of the QUEST documentary titled Suvemäe - Pioneer of Possibility, about a democratic, publicly funded school within a conventional school in Estonia. Charlie is the founder of the school. Derry is the author of “Another Way is Possible: Becoming a Democratic Teacher in a State School”, and he describes in this video a 20% Proposal about how schools can begin to pull education into alignment with human rights.
