The North American Democratic Education Conference (NADEC) is organized by a number of schools in New York with AERO while focusing on democratic education. AERO is targeted for everyone involved in educational alternatives around North America and the world.

The primary focus of the North American Democratic Education Conference is to celebrate democratic education and facilitate the sharing of tools and ideas to improve democratic, self-directed learning environments. The NADEC conference aims to build a stronger and more cohesive community of democratic schools and programs across North America. This is a conference for anyone looking to be intimately involved in democratic education; including teachers, mentors, students, parents, administrators and supporters. We hope for this conference to be practical, empowering, and inspiring to all forms of democratic education.
