Representatives from 27 schools across Europe attended a conference at a school in Felsted.

Felsted School hosted the annual Round Square conference, welcoming delegates from across the network of Round Square schools.

Every year the conference focuses on a specific pillar of values with this year's topic being democracy.

Students heard from key note speakers from organisations like the BBC, and had the opportunity to take part in workshops and interactive debates.

Daniel Emmerson, Round Square co-ordinator at Felsted, said: "It was a delightfully insightful conference, thanks to the superb efforts and participation of our own pupils and everyone who attended.

"It was wonderful to see just how engaged they all were with their subject and how eager they were to listen to the views of other people, even when they conflicted with their own ideas.

"With a follow-up Round Square conference on the subject of post-truth politics coming up at Herlufsholm School in Denmark, this is sure to be a mere chapter in our Round Square journey as a school.”
