Training Course
15-22 September 2024 | Spain
The “Educate for Democracy” training programme is focused on citizenship education, be it in a formal or a non-formal learning environment, bringing the concept, ideas and values of democracy closer to young people. In the XXI century, the true meaning of democracy and citizenship is threatened by old and new fears, lack of social bonds and solidarity, environmental challenges, and a generalised sense of insecurity.
Youth work has a key role in ensuring the empowerment of young people, offering them the opportunity to develop skills and competencies that would allow them to understand the dynamics behind the democratic processes, to practice citizenship, to be active in their community, not just every 4 or 5 years casting a ballot, but every and each day of their life.
We will cover six key topics: Citizen participation, Understanding and experiencing democracy (from local to European level), Increasing my impact – local initiatives and advocacy, Media literacy and critical thinking, Our democracies at risk (populism among other factors) and Youth leadership.
The Training will be completely based on non-formal education methods and as a basis for the training programme we will use the “Educate for Democracy” toolkit.
After the training the participants are expected to deliver a session from “Educate for Democracy” programme in their local community.
