Finally its here, the 26th edition of the magazine "Das Haus La Maison The House" has been printed. We consider it a huge success to be able to present the magazine headlined "Schools for Europe". We hope the magazine will stimulate a debate on a common European decentralized school-system. The magazine will be sent to members within short time just as we intend to send it to medias and opinion-makers all over Europe. The photos from the FEC have been uploaded to this address: www.acc.eu.org/fec
