Unit 1:
Basic understanding of democracy I:
Individual approach
Considering migration and multiculturalism (Europeanization), we are challenged to define exactly what we mean by democracy and citizenship. What unites us in Europe and in the world? Communities are challenged through globalization.
In this context we should not only discuss democracy as a form of government or a political system versus a way of life. Rather, we should seek and try to convey an understanding of the complex relationship between nation, culture and politics. It is fundamental to distinguish between ethnos and demos
Ethnos refers to the linguistic, cultural, historical community. Can strategies make use of ethnicity and solve the problems of a multicultural society? By posing this question we focus on the differences between the various groups that make up society. Demos refers to a political community and its common understanding of what a democratic political community consists of. Basically it is about establishing a pluralistic society and not a multicultural one, where all groups (ethnic groups) recognize the democratic rule of law (Korsgaard, Ove).
Question/Topic:
What is democracy?
Individual approach
Content/Objectives:
- introduce different definitions of democracy and become aware of these
- become aware of one's own understanding of democracy, reflect and make a concrete product
Procedure/Method/Didactics:
? Read (←) and discuss:
-
- Learning for Democracy: Ten Prepositions and Ten Proposals:
- “The Danish Democracy Canon”, © The Ministry of Education 2008
especially chapter 36 - DK: www.demokratikanon.dk, Peter Kemp (2004), Steffen Hartje (2007)
? Activity in the room to become aware of different attitudes towards democracy: Different posters in the room shows different definitions of democracy. Now the participants place themselves close to the definition that fits the most with their idea of democracy.
? Write your own ”democratic biography” (←):
-
- What is your experience with the various forms of
democracy? - What did you experience as you began to participate in democratic processes?
- What is your point of view today?
- What is your experience with the various forms of
? Presentation and comparison of the biographies in small groups:
-
- Note areas in which there are similarities and differences in the biographies.
- What are they? Why do they exist?
- Design and create a poster (wall newspaper) with the biographies and results of the discussion in the group.
? Group discussion on the recent findings on the basis of the theoretical articles:
-
- What does it mean for the individual to be a citizen and to stand in the tension between Individual – Community (regional – national – the EU – global)?
- Documentation: Create an initial sketch of the main problem areas.
?? Buzzing dialogue: comment the sketches of the other groups and pose questions.
