VOLT Documentary

The VOLT documentary follows the learning journey of three schools that came together through the VOLT project. The project supports teachers and students with tools to study local volcanoes from a cross sector perspective, including historical, geographical, geological, and societal dimensions. It also promotes new pedagogical practices such as Inquiry Based Learning.

Filmed across three active volcanic regions, the documentary shows how students from Greece, Iceland, and Italy explored geological phenomena while building connections across countries.

Throughout the VOLT exchanges, students asked questions, investigated volcanic areas, collaborated internationally, and built knowledge together instead of receiving information passively. The experience shows how learning gains meaning when students’ interests guide the process and when lessons connect to real world contexts.

IDEC@EUDEC Report

In August 2025, from 1 to 7 August, the European and International Conferences of the Democratic Education Communities(IDEC) converged in Belgium under the banner IDEC@EUDEC 2025. The venue was De Kluis, a youth residence in the forested area of Meerdaalwoud, in Sint-Joris-Weert, near Leuven. This marked the first time either of the two conferences has been hosted in Belgium.

Towards Participatory Education

Without meaningful participation, schools risk becoming environments of passive compliance rather than spaces of active engagement and growth.
