Can a change of school help you discover who you really are?

In this episode, Sjef from the Netherlands looks back on three years in a democratic high school that gave him space to grow at his own pace.

What began as a practical decision became a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and shared responsibility. He talks about freedom, flexible schedules, feeling part of a close-knit community, and why democratic education isn’t the right fit for everyone, but can be life-changing for some.

Tune in for a thoughtful reflection on identity, choice, and belonging.
