Competence-centered facilitation acknowledges that these all play together. Competences help people to integrate what they’ve learned into their lives in complex situations, as active citizens, or use these competences in a context of societal transformation like in the digitalisation or climate crisis.

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.
