Finished

Description

How can education and educators foster an open and equal society in a period when core democratic principles are heavily contested? This micro-module aspires to lay the groundwork for a toolkit teachers and professionals can further develop to tackle this difficult mission. It explores the importance of intercultural competence and responsive interpersonal communication for the democratic education of young children, while trying to highlight and problematise democratic dilemmas in educational settings. Join us to learn how to integrate democratic values into your professional practice and discover how communication and creativity can be powerful didactic tools in fostering these values among people of every age.
