  • Title
    Democracy Meets Arts: Critical ChangeLabs for Building Democratic Cultures Through Creative and Narrative Practices
    Summary
    Democracy requires the participation of all citizens, young people in particular. With this in mind, the EU-funded CRITICAL CHANGELAB project will develop a model of democratic paedagogy using creative and narrative practices such as theatre of the oppressed and speculative design to foster youth's active democratic citizenship at a time when polarisation and dwindling trust in democracy are spreading across Europe. The project examines the current state of democracy within education institutions identifying youth's perspectives on everyday democracy to generate a robust evidence base for developing participatory democratic curricula. At the Critical ChangeLabs diverse actors from formal and non-formal education, civic organisations and SMEs will work together with youth to rethink European democracy and envision futures that are justice-oriented.
