Overview

Participation as an element of active citizenship in democracies is a key project of international and national educational policy. Institutionalized approaches for compulsory schools provide participatory access to all young European citizens. But does this picture depict the possibilities and practices of participation appropriately?

This book explores what prerequisites must be given for a successful implementation of such a comprehensive international project.
