Democratic type schools Summerhill/ Sudbury Valley describe books and publications Svoboda učení (original in EN / czech translate), Respektovat a být respektován (original by czech) or Summerhill (originál v AJ / český preklad). Video The Land and is dedicated to the concept of free play and unstructured environments. In the Slovak Republic, the Trnava group operated on these principles Svetoskola, in the Czech Republic (and in a significantly different legislative environment), for example, the Prague donumfelix.cz, Brno jezekbezklece.cz or Liberec svobodnaskola.org, others are in most major cities across Europe. Over the past years we have visited several of them, i.e. community, alternative or democratic schools in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic, and collected know-how by reading and online. For more information about Free Democratic Schools, see for example inovativnivzdelavani.cz, seberizenevzdelavani.cz or in PDF forme on website Charles University in Prague. Many good books mention the web alternativni vzdelavani.cz. Maps of democratic schools: EUDEC, IALS, IDEC, ASDS Map of inspiring schools (CZ)
