Who We Are

The Australasian Democratic Education Community was established in 2001 by a group of like minded educators who had a passion for democratic, alternative and progressive education. 
 

ADEC provides a forum for inspiring learning communities, for discussion, debate, and research, a network for sharing and support and an incorporated association of like-minded individuals, schools, learning centres and education institutions working together on common issues.

 Childhood needs time. It doesn’t need pressure and coercion. It needs love, it needs trust, it needs time to breathe.
