Through the thematic field Democracy and Citizenship in Education, Udforsk focuses on research related to early childhood education, schools, and higher education that aims to develop knowledge contributing to the creation of a humane and democratic culture in education and society. This includes efforts to combat hate and strengthen children’s and young people’s sense of belonging and political participation.
In collaboration with relevant regional actors as well as international partners, we examine issues and societal developments connected to the educational mandate for democracy and democratic citizenship, exclusion, racism, extremism, children’s and young people’s participation, and more. The research explores shared arenas, teaching practices, governance mechanisms, historical developments, and conceptual work related to key concepts such as democracy and participation, among others.
