Virtual Course "Promoting Democratic Participation in Educational Settings"

welcome

Welcome to the course Promoting Democratic Participation in Educational Settings!

This course is designed for teachers and those responsible for the administration or management of secondary schools across the region. Its purpose is to highlight the role of education as a foundation for informed and active democratic participation, while strengthening the capacity of educators and administrators to promote these values within their institutions and communities.

Over six weeks, you will explore the following thematic modules:




Each module includes reading materials and interactive activities to help you understand key concepts and share experiences. The goal is to learn with and from others, recognizing that improving educational practices—and introducing meaningful changes—happens through collaboration in the educational community.

In the first module, you will complete a diagnostic survey to assess your prior knowledge of the topics. At the end of the course, a post-training survey will allow you to reflect on and synthesize what you have learned.

To begin, look for the orange box on the right. It contains links to each module so you can progress at your own pace. Also, please refer to the course program, chronogram and guidelines for the integrating activity. Each activity has suggested dates, giving you time to review the materials and complete the tasks comfortably.

 Your participation is an important step in building a more democratic and responsible society. Together, we will bring local and regional perspectives and create spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and learning starting in the classroom.

 

This activity is possible thanks to the generous contribution of the Permanent Mission of the United States to the OAS.
