Following a joint introduction to the topic of ‘democracy education’ at the education conference, we would be delighted to discuss and explore the following questions with you in various workshops:
How do we put democracy education into practice in our educational institutions? Where do we see opportunities, and where do we see limitations to democracy education within our institution?
This format is also intended to shed light on further aspects:
What tools do we have – or can we develop – to teach democracy education? What concerns and fears do specialists have when democratic processes and discussions arise in the ‘teaching and education context’? What is our role as specialists within the educational landscape?
We would like to tailor this to specific target groups and therefore ask you to select, for the workshop phase, which area of education you consider yourself to be part of.
