Themes

Discussion Topics

Day 1

Democracy and Global Citizenship

Democracy (D) refers to the collective plan aimed at the well-being for of all living together. It relates to the pursuit of democratic values ​​through an inclusive, dynamic, critical, and continuously-evolving process that involves all spheres of society. Unlike the traditional, unidimensional, and partisan approach (the election-centered approach), the notion of broad democracy (thick or dense) reclaims the affairs of the City (in Greek Polis) and appeals to: engagement and learning, vigilance, active participation, and social dialogue and deliberation as well as consensus and joint decision-making in the interest of political literacy. Thick or dense democracy relies, among other things, on the use of contemporary communication media that open up spaces that can foster social dialogue and citizen participation.

Day 2

Transformative education

Transformative Education (TE) concerns to the necessary intersection of the collective plan (democracy) and the individual plan (global citizenship) in formal, non-formal or informal contexts. It echoes the emancipatory nature of all veritable education from a holistic perspective that takes into account its physical, cognitive, metacognitive, affective, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions. An education that oppresses, alienates, and is complicit in the dispossession of the being from Oneself constitutes a miseducation. Transformative education is a process of critical awareness of issues and challenges related to fundamental social issues. In formal contexts, transformative education presupposes pedagogies, epistemologies and didactics that are also transformative. Transformative education is linked to democracy and global citizenship in four dimensions:

  1. Transformative Education about Democracy and about Global Citizenship (ontological dimension);

  2. Transformative Education through Democracy and through Global Citizenship (praxiological dimension);

  3. Transformative Education related to Democracy and to Global Citizenship (epistemological dimension);

  4. Transformative Education for Democracy and for Global Citizenship (axiological dimension).

Day 3

Peace, Culture and Social Justice

A central focus of the Symposium is on Peace, Culture and Social Justice. This includes critical analysis and engagement emphasizing the overlapping themes of the UNESCO Chair DCMÉT (democracy, global citizenship and transformative education). We can understand peace within the global political eco-system of relations, planning, operationalization and action that employs threats, violence, conflict and warfare as a means of imposing formal state power and/or other forms of highly organized or otherwise marginalized efforts to dominate territory, culture, identities and values. Similarly, we recognize that peace is also an individual, local and community endeavour. We also need to consider violence toward women, femicide, harassment and misogyny, (cyber)bullying, gang violence, ethno-cultural conflict, and other forms of violence that characterize our diverse societies. Working for and toward peace, therefore, should be considered both a macro and micro concern as well as a formal and informal one, and the connection to democracy, global citizenship and transformation education, potentially locating peace at the nexus, will be addressed throughout the Symposium.
