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.
