EU at school and democratic citizenship

The jobshadow activity will help the participants to:

• Understand the importance of a democratic school climate and appreciate democratic discussions at school;
• Learn how schools teach EU topics and stimulate democratic debate in their schools;
• Learn how they can include EU perspectives and democratic debate in their own school context;
• Recognize democratic dialogue as a preventive approach against polarisation;
• Develop a repertoire of strategies, tools, and techniques to engage students in becoming more active as a citizen;
• Prioritize engagement and active participation of their students;
• Experience and analyze the real and potential impacts of a democratic school climate
  

Participants:

• can express themselves in English;
• are team players;
• can transcend their own context and have great empathy;
• have a didactically creative and innovative mind;
• can inspire others;
• can transfer knowledge gained internationally to other contexts;
• are willing to engage in a learning network in which they share what they have learned with colleagues across participating educational institutions;
• are willing to turn what they have learned into effective changes in their own classroom practice and share this within the learning network and beyond.
