Imagine learning how to be a good citizen not by reading a textbook, but through art, movement, and shared feelings. It's like learning to swim by jumping in the water rather than studying fluid dynamics. This project creates guides to help teachers use these physical and emotional experiences to build better relationships and community trust.
Traditional civic education is often too cognitive and technical, failing to engage the emotional and physical aspects of learning. This leads to a lack of genuine empathy and active participation in democratic processes.
A prototype pedagogical toolkit including guides in text, audio, graphic, and video formats, and a supporting structural prototype.
If you are a digital learning platform provider dealing with low student engagement in civic courses — this project developed prototype guides in audio, graphic, and video formats that increase emotional connection to learning.
If you are a DEI consultancy dealing with workplace conflict and lack of mutual understanding — this project developed a pedagogical prototype that uses embodied learning to help people see others from new perspectives.
If you are a community center operator dealing with social injustice and fragmented local communities — this project developed toolkits that support participatory learning to strengthen local democratic roots.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided for the guides.
The project aims to disseminate the tools through 'trailblazer users' to lead transformation across different educational phases and 6 countries.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project produces prototype guides and a framework for dissemination.
The project period runs from 2023-04-01 to 2026-03-31, but specific implementation timelines for end-users are not listed.
The project tests the tools through participatory action research across different educational phases and national contexts to ensure they are responsive.
The consortium is purely academic, consisting of 6 universities across 6 countries (DE, FI, HR, LV, PT, UK). There are 0 industrial partners and only 1 SME, indicating the project is currently driven by research and pedagogical theory rather than commercial market pull.
