Sociocracy is a method of organization, decision-making, and governance designed to protect and apply the values that democracies cherish. Unlike current democracies, it is a governance structure designed to make sure those values are applied as equally as possible for everyone. All members of a sociocratically governed organization are guaranteed the ability to collaboratively decide their living and working conditions — as citizens, employees, neighbors, students.

Agora School, Roermond, Netherlands. Agora as a blend of a university (where you have knowledge), a Buddhist monastery (where you can think), a theme park (where you can play) and a communal marketplace (where you can trade and swap things). You could describe the space where this happens as full of happy clutter. It is a school with no subjects, no tests, no lessons, where learning is framed more as a social process; a school in which students learn how to learn.
