1922's Forgotten Children's Republic: The Diari de Vilamar Revolution
In 1922, a group of educators in Catalonia created a 'school republic' where children governed themselves, elected leaders, and learned through nature and art—not rote memorization. This video explores the Diari de Vilamar, a rare facsimile edition of a student-run newspaper from the Vilamar summer camp. Discover how this democratic, autonomous model of education, led by Pere Vergés i Farrés, was decades ahead of its time, and why its lessons are crucial for rethinking modern schooling. Uncover the radical experiment that turned kids into citizens and learning into living.
