EUDEC 2025: Shaping the future of democratic education together

A Gathering for Change

Education is at a crossroads. Around the world, traditional schooling systems are being questioned, challenged, and reimagined. In response, the European Democratic Education Community (EUDEC) is bringing together educators, students, parents, and changemakers for EUDEC 2025—a conference that will explore the future of learning, democracy in education, and the power of self-directed learning.

Organized by CollectiveUP, this inspiring and action-driven event will be a space for dialogue, exchange, and hands-on collaboration. But this is more than just a conference—it's a movement.

Why EUDEC 2025 Matters

For decades, democratic education has been a beacon of hope for those seeking an alternative to rigid, one-size-fits-all schooling models. It promotes:

✅ Student agency – Empowering young people to take charge of their own learning.
✅ Community-driven education – Schools that function as democratic communities, where students and educators collaborate in decision-making.
✅ Lifelong learning – Preparing individuals not just for exams, but for life.

At EUDEC 2025, we’ll tackle pressing global challenges in education, from addressing the learning crisis to ensuring inclusive, equitable, and participatory education for all.
