Active Citizenship Education facilitates the knowledge and competencies necessary to involve people in societal discussions and decision-making processes in a democratic way.
"Democratic way" implies that there is a normative core. The Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education defines this precisely:
"Education for democratic citizenship” means education, training, awareness-raising, information, practices, and activities which aim, by equipping learners with knowledge, skills and understanding and developing their attitudes and behaviour, to empower them to exercise and defend their democratic rights and responsibilities in society, to value diversity and to play an active part in democratic life, with a view to the promotion and protection of democracy and the rule of law."
