20 YEARS DALTON INTERNATIONAL
It started even more than 20 years ago with the official
city link between Utrecht and Brno. Directors of schools from both cities found
each other in one goal: discovering how Dalton education was executed in the
world and how we could benefit from the relation with each other, creating a
new Dalton network.
It is impossible to catch the complete history in
pictures, we have to reduce it to some highlights. Of course our visits in 1999
to ‘The Dalton School’ in New York and in 2000 to ‘Ascham’ in Sydney must be
mentioned, because these were our first official international Dalton contacts.
Many activities followed, introduction seminars in some
countries had as a result that we were asked to support in founding Dalton
Associations in Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland.
The latest activities take place in China and Turkey, where
we are intensively working on implementing the mission and vision of Helen
Parkhurst, both in theory and practice.
