<div class="teaser-text">With this toolbox we want to unleash civil initiative with competency based learning approaches. <!--out.png | 400px | right]] --> We think, that learning and education can much more contribute to the ideal of  a society shaped by active citizens than the traditional model of cognitive education. Education understood as empowerment lays the foundation for an active attitude towards lifelong learning and helps people to apply their power and skills for something purposeful and for the public good. Helping people to gain competences is a collaborative task of families, schools, initiatives and other organizations providing learning.</div>

==Democracy- and Human Rights-Related Learning ==

Education for Democratic Citzenship aims to foster initiative, an active role of an individual in public life (participation). This includes a systematic understanding of how one's individual engagement is connected to the society, the political system, or to complex social challenges. It helps citizens/learners to develop a democratic attitude toward other people and groups and contribute to a peaceful democratic culture. It is necessary to understand and co-create social transitions.  
  
==Key competences as a goal, <br>empowerment as a learning approach==

This toolbox aims to show how democracy-related educational approaches contribute to modern competence-oriented pedagogy and how modern competence orientation improves democracy-related pedagogy.
<div class="teaser-text">Our idea of facilitation focuses on two main aspects.  As a fundamental ''goal of education'' and learning we shape and strengthen ''key competences''. Competence based education shifts the focus on the indidvidual needs and the realistic applicability of the learned. It defines learning outcomes wider than knowledge, including the practical skills of learners and their competences to act in complex social situations.  
 
  
The fundamental ''didactical approach'' we promote is the idea of ''empowerment'' - helping each individual to act self-responsible, purpose- and powerful. </div>

'''Introduction:''' For applying complex knowledge we need more than learning from books and in classes. Competence based learning processes cover the broad range of skills, knowledge and attitudes, which one needs for successful action in a modern society. They help inidviduals to develop their key competences and an active attitude to the idea of life-long learning.

Democracy- and Human Rights-Related Learning

Education for Democratic Citzenship aims to foster initiative, an active role of an individual in public life (participation). This includes a systematic understanding of how one's individual engagement is connected to the society, the political system, or to complex social challenges. It helps citizens/learners to develop a democratic attitude toward other people and groups and contribute to a peaceful democratic culture. It is necessary to understand and co-create social transitions.

This toolbox aims to show how democracy-related educational approaches contribute to modern competence-oriented pedagogy and how modern competence orientation improves democracy-related pedagogy.
