artkamp
Christel HartkampBakker has a PhD of the Delft University of Technology and worked for 15 years in the oil industry. She is mother of three children. From 2002 onwards she was involved in founding free democratic schools in the Netherlands. Together with a small group, she became an advocate for Sudbury model schools. In 2007 she cofounded a Sudbury school in Amersfoort “De Kampanje”, which had to close in februari of this year as a result of regulations by the government. Recently, she cofounded Newschool.nu, a school again based on the principles of the Sudbury Valley School.
She believes that only in a well organized and structured environment, in which rules are applied to protect the individual rights, and where every person has an equal vote in governing the school, children grow up as selfaware and responsible adults. Self-actualization and selfmotivation are the key elements for deep learning an understanding. In the Sudbury Valley School she found the best model where children develop the ability to direct their own lives, be accountable for their actions, set priorities, allocate resources, deal with complex ethical issues, and work with others in a vibrant community. Christel is author of a book “De Kampanje Sudbury Valley School in Nederland” (2009), and coauthor of “Knowmad Society” (2013).

practised as much democracy and student control over their own learning as he could get away with in his twenty years as a state secondary school teacher. He ended his school career as vice principal of a large English secondary school which had pioneered the role of the school being a learning resource for the whole community and the whole community being a learning resource for the school.
He then became a school inspector where he tried to support other teachers and schools with similar ideas. He was part of the successful defence of Summerhill school against the threat of closure by the government in 1999.
He has been an adviser/trainer/rapporteur for the Council of Europe Education for Democratic Citizenship project and a freelance researcher/adviser to the development of citizenship education in the English national curriculum. At the request of the UK ministry of education he authored the “Hannam Report” based on research which he conducted that demonstrated associations between democratic and participative methods in schools and higher academic results, less anti-social behaviour and better school attendance.
He has co-authored several books on the theme that “…if you want young people to learn about democracy in schools they have to do it and not just listen to teachers talk about it.” Derry Hannam has regularly contributed to IDECs since 1993 and has been described as a “bridge person” who tries to bring about dialogue between the democratic education movement and the state or public school systems.
