Notus is involved in promoting the Agora of the European DEMOCRAT project
DEMOCRAT – Education for Responsible Democratic Citizenship is a European project funded by the Horizon Europe programme that aims to contribute to a more inclusive, participatory education committed to democratic values. The project brings together universities, research centres, social organisations and schools from six countries with the purpose of identifying good practices, developing tools and generating knowledge that supports the strengthening of democratic citizenship from school onwards. Notus is part of the consortium for this project.
As part of this project, the Agora has been created, a digital platform designed as a space for exchange, dissemination and reflection on education for democracy. The Agora has two levels of access:
- An international Agora, available in English, which compiles content generated by all project partners at European level.
- A national Agora, accessible in Spanish and Catalan, where content more specifically related to the national and local context is published.
Both platforms are organised into various thematic sections:
- Videos: Interviews and recordings of events with experts and professionals in the field of education who discuss topics such as student participation, conflict resolution, values education and citizenship building.
- Blog: Short publications offering conceptual reflections, educational experiences, methodological resources, and policy analyses related to democracy in schools.
- Repository: Materials developed within the framework of the project, such as competency frameworks, teaching resources, and analysis documents, available for consultation and download.
At Notus, we actively contribute to the development of the national Agora by creating content, translating project documents and promoting the participation of professionals and schools in our community. Notus has also written two articles for the DEMOCRAT project website, with the aim of sharing some reflections related to the project’s themes and presenting some of the initial results of the pilot projects we are supporting in Catalonia. These experiences offer a concrete vision of how democratic practices can be incorporated into the daily life of educational centres.
The Agora platform is designed as an open resource for the entire educational community interested in promoting a democratic culture in the classroom.
