YouLead-A Democratic Society needs Activism

In recent times, youth activism has surged across various fronts, from #BlackLivesMatter to #MeToo and #FridaysForFuture.

It’s crucial to recognize that supporting these causes isn’t mutually exclusive; each carries a potent message.

In a democratic Europe, activism acts as a catalyst for change, ensuring diverse voices are heard and heeded.

Whether it’s climate action, social justice, or any cause that ignites passion, the power to effect change lies in the hands of the people.

By actively participating and voicing concerns, individuals contribute to the vibrant tapestry of a democratic Europe, ensuring that collective action shapes society’s course.

Transformative Learning: the basic theory for training teachers for inclusive education

We from TUTOR think that transformative learning is essential for an inclusive education.

Why? It provides teachers with a framework to critically examine their own beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions. This framework enables them to create a welcoming and supportive classroom environment for students from diverse backgrounds. More specifically, transformative learning is vital to inclusive teaching and learning because it provides:

• Increased self-awareness

• Empathy and understanding

• Mitigating prejudice

• Shifting perspectives

• Adapting teaching strategies

• Creating safe learning spaces

• Promoting critical thinking

• Enhancing communication skills

• Positive role models

• Equal Opportunity

In summary, transformative learning is essential to inclusive teaching because it promotes self-awareness, empathy, and critical thinking, which are fundamental competencies for teachers to create a classroom environment where all students feel valued, respected, and empowered to learn and succeed.

This way, teachers become advocates for diversity and inclusion, contributing to a more equitable and supportive education system.
