Details:
Democracy in Action with Betzavta takes the concepts and principles of democracy and gives a new relevance to it by applying these concepts to the workings of a small group. Instead of only talking about the theories of equality, freedom, inclusion, Democracy in Action lets participants reflect on whether their actions reflect their theories. Through interactive activities combined with reflection sessions, participants gain a deeper understanding of themselves and a greater awareness of their effect on others. They learn to recognize their own needs and how to express these needs in a group, as well as what to do when there are conflicting needs in a group. Through a given conflict management strategy, participants learn to deal with conflict through a reflection and awareness of the a decision making process. The ultimate goal is the recognition that while one person’s freedom can step over another’s, every individual has an equal right to freedom. This goal is achieved through an experiential learning process, shaped by the naturally existing dynamics of the group. This training aims to support youth workers and youth working in the field of democracy and inclusion to increase their competences and apply the method to their local contexts. A new and relevant sense of responsibility will be strengthened and forwarded to others in further trainings.
