4 Participation

4.4 Example 1: Reflections - educating for critical thinking, inclusive societies and dynamic engagement

Here are examples of teaching skills for active participation in democratic processes, critical thinking and living in plural societies in 6 different languages. Teachers acquire pedagogical strategies for cosmopolitan engagement, diversity education and philosophising with children and young people. The modules support the development and strengthening of skills, such as critical, creative and empathetic thinking, which are necessary for active participation in democratic processes and living together in diversity. Topics include human rights, racism, migration, climate change, globalisation, fair trade and consumption. [Reflections. EduSkills+ (2019). Retrieved from https://reflections.eduskills.plus/]
