- OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
The objectives of the course include: To define the concept of Citizenship and its close relationship with democracy, to address its historical construction and the process followed in the gradual conquest of rights and freedoms that give it content, reflected in the
Universal Declarations of Rights and in contemporary constitutionalism.
To ensure education for a democratic citizenship, i.e. education for democracy and education in democracy, both as an end and as a means of education, for the active participation of citizens in the issues of public life that concern us.
To assume and transmit the consideration of education for democratic citizenship as a common good, as a process in which we must participate and therefore as a horizon that is always open and that can be improved, guiding our actions and our decisions.
To provide education professionals with tools of analysis and social intervention in their different fields and modalities, in order to base their daily practice in terms of democratic citizenship and human rights.
To make educators aware of the need for democracy to be considered as a universalisable value that offers the possibility of effective intercultural dialogue and respect for human rights.
To promote the idea that it is necessary to educate in the exercise of tolerance and freedom within the democratic principles of coexistence, as well as in conflict prevention and peaceful conflict resolution.
To consider and contextualise education for democratic citizenship and human rights as a substantial part of lifelong learning policies and practices, following the priority criteria of the European and international educational agenda.
