A Whole School Approach to Democracy in Action.
Project Overview

coACTION is an international project that develops processes and methods to introduce democratic measures in our primary schools and to involve the whole school community, from management and teachers to pupils, parents and the whole school environment.

The project is conceived as a joint activity of independent and public schools with the aim of exchanging knowledge, expertise, experience and best practices of cutting-edge, interdisciplinary and competency-oriented teaching and learning methods, as well as the use of quality assurance models in both sectors.

The project supports the implementation of democratic processes in primary schools, which not only sensitizes the people involved to the importance of social and cultural factors in our daily coexistence, but also gives them the opportunity to gain practical experience in the application of democratic methods.

coACTION project will celebrate the Second Project Meeting in June 2025

On 25th and 26th of June 2025 the partners of the project will meet in Pedome, Portugal, to do the first testing of the project products
