#democraticeducation — Public Fediverse posts

TIL, "just chatting" with @voorstad he's not only doing "something with open source"; just like me he's also involved in education reform: #Agora

We chatted a bit about the pros and cons of #democraticeducation and #agora. Inspiring!

Wie sieht die Zukunft der Demokratiebildung in Europa aus? Das DECITEL-Projekt arbeitet daran, Politische Bildung grundlegend neu zu denken – mit 12 Designprinzipien für eine europaweite Teacher Academy, lokalen Lernökosystemen, die Schulen mit der Zivilgesellschaft vernetzen, und einem wachsenden Fokus auf digitale Demokratiebildung. Zuletzt diskutierten Partner u.a. mit der Europäischen Kommission, wie Lehramtsausbildung und zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement besser verzahnt werden können. Mehr dazu im 1. Newsletter des Projekts:

🤝 Building strong local learning ecosystems

As part of the DECITEL project, the the polis – Austrian Centre for Citizenship Education in Schools met with Prof. Roland Trabe (University College of Teacher Education Vienna and European Union Studies – Jean Monnet Teacher Training Programme) to explore a possible collaboration with the Local Learning Ecosystem Bildungsgrätzl VerteilerKREIS.

📍 Located in Vienna’s 10th district, the Bildungsgrätzl VerteilerKREIS connects schools, educational institutions in Austria, and local actors to strengthen education through cooperation. Together, they create educational, cultural, and social projects—especially for children and young people, but also for the wider neighbourhood.

🌱 The goal: an inclusive, interdisciplinary, and sustainable educational neighbourhood that responds to local needs and supports a vibrant, diverse community.

Many of us in the west believe they live in a democratic society. But do we, really?

Fifteen years ago, I "discovered" Democratic Education and Sociocracy: A truly empowering way of education and a democratic system that is much more democratic than the popular "majority of votes" version. So, I took the initiative, together with Jaqcueline van Ewijk and Suzanne Thissen to start doe040, a democratic school based on sociocracy.

Anyway, only recently, I discovered the perspective that, besides the obvious school system, often depicted as a prison, for many of us our adult life also isn't democratic at all. The far majority of companies in our capitalist system are authoritarian, and THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE (to me). Or at least, I suggest that we reconsider this. We should strive to create and work for cooperatives, sharing responsibility and reaping the fruits of our labours ourselves. For inspiration, see also

Your social media is either big-tech spyware or political. Your education is either classroom and strictly year group based with a fixed mandatory curriculum and tests or political. Your diet is either full of animal cruelty or political.

No, school teachers, this isn't about you. But it is about a traditional system of education that has failed to provide these advantages for generations and still resists it.

"My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to University but of passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity and effort of will."

So, that’s a bit about me. I look forward to connecting with people who share similar interests and passions!

@gerard_mazza Hi! Have you found much #selfdirectededucation in WA? I lived there 6 years (around Three Springs) and it still comes up on my radar sometimes. Co-founded Gamechangers here in #eastlondon and was part of the Free We Grow community in #southlondon, both #selfdirectededucation and #consentbasededucation (#democraticeducation) projects for #homeducation (for now) but keen to promote this as an option everywhere.
