Event Description

This course introduces three radical yet successful experiments in democracy:

Summerhill School: the children’s republic;
Semco: upside-down management;
Mondragon: a federation of worker cooperatives.
These experiments provide possible solutions to our frustrations with education, employment, and society.

Offered as part of the Village Vancouver Transition School as part of Langara College's Sustainable Communities Summer School
