Exchanges for Students and Teachers
EUDEC promotes exchanges as a powerful way to experience democratic education in practice. Whether for teachers, students, or both, exchanges strengthen community, broaden perspectives, and create lasting partnerships.
- Reciprocal visits – one school hosts, and later visits in return.
- One-way exchanges – a visit to another school.
- Individual or group exchanges – student(s) or staff member(s).
- Mixed exchanges – involving both teachers and students at the same time.
If you would like to arrange a direct exchange with a specific school, please contact the school itself. You will find EUDEC member Schools in our Network Map
If you are interested in an exchange within the European framework, such as Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, or CERV Collaborations, with EUDEC, please contact us at info@eudec.org
Please share your experiences, we’ll publish them here:
We are Pina, Celia, Arianna and Paola.
We are students from the democratic school Kapriole in Freiburg.
In November we visited the „Freie Schule Leipzig“ for one week.
The idea came to us because we were interested in other democratic schools. We knew already
some of the students in Leipzig and therefore we thought it would be really great to get to know the school. We organized the journey and asked them if we could come for one week and if they could organize sleeping possibilities for us. It was pretty cool that it worked so spontaneously.
Thanks to Leipzig!
It was a great time and we can recommend doing something like this to everyone.
We earned a lot of experience and got new ideas for our school. It was nice to see how democratic education works in another school and how they live it.
We hope we motivated you to do something like this.
You are always welcome at our school, the Kapriole in Freiburg.
