Active Citizenship is indispensable for the survival of democracy. However, there was a lack of suitable learning material on Active citizenship, and the subject-matter is not either on the curricula of education institutions. We would make it possible for young people to acquire competencies in active citizenship and thus stimulate democracy.
There course is targeted at young people
- Who want to make a difference in the society
- Who may become politicians, leaders or a founder of an NGO, a knowledge worker in a charitable organisation
- Who want to boost their possibilities for jobs and further education.
It also targets political parties’ youth departments, trade unions, NGOs, social enterprises and education institutions.
Our new, informal, interdisciplinary education integrates disciplines, such as: Psychology (Personal and social development, empathy, resilience), Sociology (entrepreneurship, integration, social dynamics and issues), Journalism (critical thinking (being aware of echo chambers, not buying fake news, sound judgment, retrieving adequate information), Environmental studies (advocacy for protection of the earth, fighting climate change, finding jobs in the growing green sector), Social science and Politology (understanding the nature of power and influence).
Good luck with your learning!
