International Summer Camp
Once a year we hold an International Summer Camp for students from democratic communities and schools all around the world. It’s an opportunity to hang out with your existing friends, make new friendships, and have a lot of fun. The camps are organised by the students and teachers together.

We’re planning to treck across the Sahara desert with a group of Berber nomads. We’ll spend 6 full days in the desert and learn loads about a totally different culture to our own.
