| Education for Democracy |

Pretty cool system This KRATZA film, "Pretty Cool System", is now going to be shown publicly. Educating for Democracy New Leaders for Tomorrow's Schools. Issue #41 - Educating for Democracy. In this issue, we turn our attention to the issue of educating for democracy — how best to prepare students for full participation in a democracy with the necessary complex knowledge and skills. We focus initially on the distinction between educating for democracy and education as democracy. We conclude that democratic conditions and processes need to be present and active in schools before educating for democracy can thrive. The Rouge Forum The Rouge Forum is a group of educators, students, and parents seeking a democratic society. We are concerned about questions like these: How can we teach against racism, national chauvinism and sexism in an increasingly authoritarian and undemocratic society? How can we gain enough real power to keep our ideals and still teach--or learn? Whose interests shall school serve in a society that is ever more unequal? We are both research and action oriented. We want to learn about equality, democracy and social justice as we simultaneously struggle to bring into practice our present understanding of what that is. We seek to build a caring inclusive community which understands that an injury to one is an injury to all. At the same time, our caring community is going to need to deal decisively with an opposition that is sometimes ruthless. Martin Auer - The Strange War Stories for a Culture of Peace |
