Calling All Summerhill Supporters. Here is the News.
So here is the news! We woke up this week to the fact that our followers do not really know what we are up to. This regular Tuesday spot will keep you up-to-date on Summerhill Democratics projects. They do not always work out. That’s OK. We just keep on doing.
University of Cordoba: last week Jason gave a talk on Summerhill and made some excellent contacts.
El Dragon, Madrid: Azahara from El Dragon School in Torrelodones was at the talk. We talked about possible collaborations. Nicolas and Azahara are old friends.

La Cantonera: this weekend Jason is going to Gran Canaria to take part in the jornadas of La Cantonera School. It will be good to meet Nayra at last!
