Imagine a guidebook that teaches people how to disagree respectfully and participate in society without falling for fake news. It's like a gym for the mind where citizens practice the skills needed to keep a community stable and fair. The goal is to make sure people know how to handle complex modern crises without turning to extremism.
Organizations and governments struggle with social polarization, mistrust in science, and political disengagement. There is a lack of standardized, evidence-based tools to teach the skills required for responsible citizenship in a digital age.
A competence framework for responsible democratic citizenship and a toolbox containing curricula and learning methods tested in local projects.
If you are a digital learning platform provider dealing with a lack of verified civic content — this project developed a competence framework that provides a structured way to teach democratic skills. This allows you to build certified courses for lifelong learning.
If you are a DEI consultancy dealing with workplace polarization and social conflict — this project developed a toolbox for democratic education. You can use these methods to improve internal communication and responsible citizenship within large organizations.
If you are a government service provider dealing with low public participation in local projects — this project developed local innovative learning projects. These tools help you engage citizens more effectively in the decision-making process.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures are mentioned.
The project focuses on creating a toolbox and curricula for lifelong learning, which can be adapted across different national education systems and informal environments.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, though it is an EU-funded research project.
The project specifically links democratic competences with digitalisation to ensure the tools work in modern learning environments.
The project period runs from 2023-03-01 to 2026-02-28, suggesting results will be finalized by early 2026.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 6 universities and 2 research organizations across 8 countries. With only 1 SME and 0 industry partners, the project is driven by theoretical and pedagogical research rather than commercial application, which may mean a longer path to market.
