The Reclaiming Education Toolkit (QUEST Advocacy Toolkit)

Why this toolkit ?

Around the world, schools, educators, and learners are proving that education can be democratic, just, and profoundly connected to the environment and the community. However, these grassroots innovations often remain isolated, restricted by rigid national frameworks or a lack of institutional support.

This toolkit wants to demystify EU advocacy and help you navigate local and European decision-making, so that your school / organisation can raise their concerns and visions for education at different levels.

You will find out the levers of power able to influence education policies at EU level, while translating your everyday practices into structured “asks” to share with decision makers.

Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). Neither the European Union nor EACEA can be held responsible for them.

Using Youth-Led Participatory Action Research (YPAR), they took a deep dive into the emotions that come when their lives and futures are taken out of their hands, and figured out how to turn this into collective action and empowerement.
