Frisch Voran (Philipp-Damian Siefert)

Description

What drives me
As the first sociocratic school, we are now looking back on 8 years of experience. The FRISCH school is organized completely sociocratic with everyone who is involved: teachers, parents, students. Since its foundation, many alternative schools and initiatives have followed our example; one could even say there’s a surge of people who want to reform democratic structures and help them become more authentic.
For 6 years, I have accompanied alternative schools and initiatives in the sociocratic circle method, in particular in combination with the four basic values defined by Jesper Juul: responsibility, authenticity, integrity, credibility.
In this presentation, I will report on my experiences and provide insights in how sociocracy can succeed in a school.
