Speak Up, Speak Out

(Understanding Democracy)

Summerhill School

   

As an introduction to democracy children were given the chance to meet and interview a pupil from Summerhill School.

Summerhill School is the oldest school in the world based on direct democracy and children's rights. It has children from six to 17 year olds who are treated equally in the school's democratic meetings.
