Guidelines: Sociocracy in schools

SOCIS is a European project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (Key Action – 210 – Small scale partnership cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good Practices).

The duration of the project is of 16 months, from 01/04/2022 to 31/07/2023

SOCIS is implemented by 2 European Countries (Belgium and Austria).

The partnership is made up of one European Network promoting Quality Education (QUEST) and one organisation promoting sociocracy (Soziokratie Zentrum).

The project has the ambition to support the development of sociocracy in European schools, in order to offer an innovative and democratic management of schools

where every person involved has an active participation in decision- making and where every voice is heard.

This guidelines document is one of the three main activities of the SOCIS project.
