The European Democratic Education Community (EUDEC) is a European non-profit organisation that promotes democratic education as a sensible educational model for all democratic states. EUDEC aims to further democratic education in Europe. Founded in February 2008〔(European Democratic Education Community — Brief History ) Retrieved March 5, 2009〕 as a project of the United Kingdom-based Phoenix Education Trust, the organisation has been an independently registered non-profit NGO in Germany since 2009. == About EUDEC == EUDEC's members are individuals, schools and institutions throughout Europe with decades of experience in democratic education. One of the things that make this organisation so unique is the active role played by school students at all levels: e.g. as individual members, on the EUDEC Council, in conference-planning, in the organisation of programmes etc. EUDEC pools this knowledge and shares it in the form of online information about democratic education in theory and practice, publications, conferences, meetings and seminars, school partnerships and exchanges, opportunities to visit schools, a thriving, mutually supportive network of schools, universities, organisations and start-up groups. Individuals, schools, school start-up groups and organisations may become members of the Community.〔(European Democratic Education Community — Membership ) Retrieved March 5, 2009〕 As of October 2014 the Community represents about 58,000 people and 53 groups from 29 countries including more than 58,000 school students, 43 schools, 24 start-up groups and 3 organisations including the (German National Association of Free Alternative Schools (BFAS) ), UK-based (Phoenix Education Trust ) and the (Swiss Union of Student Organisations (USO) ), as well as numerous individual members. The Community was formed in parallel with the European Democratic Education Conference, which is now a part of the Community's regular activities. The conference, which takes place annually, also includes the EUDEC's annual general assembly of members, in which officers of the community are elected and decisions are made about Community policy. Every two years the Community elects a Council of 7 to 11 members who administer its business between assemblies. This year EUDEC employed its first paid staff member who works closely with the Council to run the organisation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Democratic Education Community」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
