• to support all forms of democratic education throughout Europe,
• to promote democratic education as the sensible educational model for all democratic states,
• to establish, in legislation, the right to found and attend democratic schools and to provide aid and support to democratic schools and start-up groups and
• to facilitate exchange of information between democratic schools in Europe and create connections between schools for cooperation and mutual learning.

RECOGNISING the Resolution made by the International Democratic Education Conference of 2005, which states that in any educational setting, young people have the right to decide individually how, when, what, where and with whom they learn (taking into account the limitations of what the school is actually able to offer) and have an equal share in the decision making as to how their organisations – in particular their schools – are run, and which rules and sanctions, if any, are necessary, the European Democratic Education Community DEFINES democratic education as education that strives to realize these rights of young persons.

An individual member must be a resident of an EU state, candidate state or other European state, as defined by the European Union.
Residents of other countries are welcome to apply as "associate members".
