Guidelines: Democratic Education in Nature

DEN (Democratic Education in Nature) is a European project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (Key Action 2 – Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good Practices).

Responding to the needs of offering innovative pedagogical experiences promoting children’s environmental stewardship, active citizenship and promotion of inner motivation and talents, the project has the ambition to systematise and disseminate a new developing approach that bridges Nature Pedagogy with Democratic Education.

Having the partners of the project a long-term experience in this domain, they promoted a research on this approach and its application, a series of workshops and guidelines for schools. This guidelines document is one of the three main activities of the DEN project.
