Thursday I ran a morning at Tower Hamlets town hall with four local primary schools. Their school councillors and support teachers came to learn about restorative justice and children's courts through the life and work of the Polish Jewish hero Janus Korczak and his democratic orphanage, and Summerhill School and its democratic meetings. They saw a video clip of the CBBC drama, showing a meeting case about a boy accused of stealing £20 and then they held a role play meeting about a child using someones bike without permission. The morning ended with everyone singing happy birthday to Summerhill, in celebration of its 90th birthday, and the children sharing Fairtrade chocolate.
