Course contents
The course faces the processes of empowerment and active citizenship education, as a possibility of prevention, transformation, social and cultural innovation. These notions are the reading key to face a reflection about the society change and about the need of being and feeling active and responsible citizens, in condition to make choises, in the global, multcultural, individualistic and changeling context.
In this analysis, the concept of citizenship will be addressed in its dual but integrated interpretation: the civic education, as a system of conventions, laws, rules that characterize a community (in English this dimension is recognized by the term civicness) and citizenship as identities that leads the subject to identify with culture and values of the community (in English is citizenship).
The main theme of the course is made of a didactical concept based on learning processes focused on real life, on experiences, those have as final aim the empowerment of personal autonomy, the acknowledgement of self-identity, the skill to set up changing processes and existencial planning.
In particular, the course faces some issues that require special attention:
- Analysis of the fundamentals of the concept of citizenship, in which the local and the global, the commonalities and differences coexist, where citizenships are denied, invisible, violated in a constant relationship between exclusion and inclusion.
- Active citizenship as a process of protection of rights and care and enhancement of common goods.
- Designing in educational and social contexts in a perspective of empowerment and active citizenship (for example with adolescents, unaccompanied childre, migrants ...)
- From the paradigm of democratic citizenship to transformative processes: strategies and tools for urban regeneration and social cohesion.
- Languages of art as inclusion strategies and citizenship practices.
