Flipped Learning on Active Citizenship, Participation, and DemocracyErasmus+ course summary
Students might perceive active citizenship as a topic in the future too far from their reality. The role of the teacher is to show them how the hierarchy of power in decision-making based on age and social status can harm the needs of various groups of people. Students often undermine the possibility of an impact on decision-makers, the local environment, and actors in the economy. By adopting the flipped classroom approach teachers walk the talk of active citizenship. They engage students in micro-actions, which are just enough to inspire them for critical thinking and pursue initiatives for a better future. "One child, one teacher, one pen, and one book can change the world." - Malala Yousafzai
