Listen "Do we need Radical Citizenship Education?"

Episode Synopsis


Citizenship education remains a contested term, lacking a universally accepted definition. Both, the understanding and practice of citizenship education have been discussed by educational institutions, the youth sector, political parties, ideologies, cultures and society as a whole. While citizenship education is often understood in relation to democracy, human rights and young people's participation in decision-making processes, some researchers and practitioners argue that we need to go beyond the current practice and consider a radical reform in the way citizenship education is taught.Guests: Nika Bakhsoliani and Sérgio XavierHosts: Ismael Páez Civico and Lana PasicLink to the research paper: Radical Education - A pathway for new utopias and reimagining European democracies
