Valia Loutrianaki
I am an educator of greek language, rhetoric and youth leadership. I am also founding member of EUDEC's Greece Sympraxis Team and president of the Hellenic Association for the Promotion of Rhetoric in Education. I always admired Summerhill and looked for ways to persuade that kids and teens have a voice that is not only worth but also should be heard as loud as older people's voice. I dream of a world where young people get educated in democratic values and skills through an experiential program that is meaningful and makes them happy. And I am sure that they will also become parents who respect their kids and the world will be a better place then. I know it's difficult but places and people like Summerhill community inspire us and make us believe it is worth trying!
