Overview
A village built by children. A week without phones. A lifetime of lessons. In Safe Danger, veteran educator Stephen de Brett tells the inspiring story of a radical experiment that has been running for more than thirty years at The King Alfred School in North London. Once a year, a group of thirteen-year-olds leave the modern world behind to build and run a village of their own. Freed from screens, schedules and constant adult intervention, they learn to solve problems, navigate conflict, take responsibility and rely on one another, discovering what they are capable of when adults give them the freedom to find their own way. Part memoir, part exploration of adolescence and part call to action, Safe Danger asks what young people lose when we remove too much risk from their lives, and what they might gain if we give some of it back. Timely, hopeful and grounded in more than three decades of experience, this is a compelling exploration of risk, freedom and growing up, and of what can happen when adults step back and young people are given the space to step forward.
