Knowledge on democracy has to be taught again and again. But democracy is more than knowledge. It is also about attitudes and skills. Knowledge, attitudes and skills have to be taught and learned a life long, generation after generation. Democracy is not an eternal acquisition.
The Grundtvig project SOCCER (12 partners from 10 EU countries) was about democratic citizenship teaching and learning. For all people living in a democratic society. In SOCCER we put the accent on teaching and learning for and with so-called deprived groups. Because of the extra difficulty: most of those marginalized people see themselves as opposed to society. And they dislike the words teaching and learning. Teachers, tutors, coaches, social workers need to be extremely creative to “touch” these youngsters and adults.
In SOCCER we did a lot of try-outs of good curricula, good methods, good tools, good games, …The 12 partners within SOCCER invite you to the final conference where we will show some of the main results, some of the proven good practice.
