+ Participatory Democracy, + Active Citizenship

Description

"The project ""More participatory democracy, more active citizenship"" is coordinated by the Camilo Castelo Branco School Group of Vila Nova de Famalicão, Portugal, and has the partners Siauliu Juliaus Janonio gimnazija, from Siauliai, Lithuania, and IES URBI BHI, from Basauri, Spain. These are institutions with related profiles, certified with the eTwinning School Seal, with Erasmus + experience. They shared pedagogical presuppositions and strategic objectives common to their educational projects: democratic participation is one of the most powerful means of personal and social transformation, promoter of INCLUSION; the school is the first civic space of participation for the young person, the one where he first appropriates the mechanisms of democratic participation, can give them meaning and political usefulness; school structures need to actively listen to young proposals; of this first space of participation, the young person must go to other contexts, so that he is active in his parish, county, region, country, European Union and World; given the lack of democratic participation of young people in today's political life, the partners understand that the school context must provide dynamic, motivating, mobilizing, and engaging pedagogies; teachers need to know new resources and strategies, to observe how the school's own colleagues and partner schools work and become progressively involved in education for European and global citizenship.This project deeply believes in the catalytic effect of the political education activities developed in the two LTTAs in Brussels and Strasbourg: legislative simulations, seminars, interactive visits, role-play, action research, educating city, debates, personalized lectures, apps, video application manipulation, application and smartphone usage, etc.In the LTTA and respective countries, we will also focus on focus groups, questionnaire surveys, interviews, simulations, debates, among other methodologies.This alliance between traditional methodologies and innovative methodologies will last throughout the project. It is a conscious pedagogical intentionality: to enable participants in the various forms of participation, in view of the regular functioning of institutions, but also the new forms of participation of the digital age.We seek to unite non-institutional pedagogies and out-of-school education, so that the acquired competencies of participatory democracy in intervention at school have a dynamic effect for application in contexts outside of school, not only in the present, but in the future.Better school, more inclusive school, school with greater and better social utility, but also more democratic educational territories. In the medium and long term, this project, using various digital and traditional means of communication and dissemination, has immense potential to bring about change: the recommendations will be shared with school, local, national and international policy makers. We want all those who listen to us to understand that it is urgent to change the political formation of young people, to involve them in causes and to provide them with digital means of participation."
