| Description | The importance of good relationships at various levels (pupils in the class and school, teacher(s), parents, school management, wider community) lies at the roots of our understanding of the school as a learning ecosystem where child agency and respectful communication are the key. The research shows that the possible tools to achieve this are a) raising awareness in future teachers during their teacher training; b) implementation of democratic principles at school level in the form of a school parliament, school council, and parents’ council, which as living bodies meet and communicate regularly. All this is underlined by the key value of the school’s philosophy, i.e. social responsibility towards broader community and the system of education in a particular country. |
