The major goals of the coACTION project are to foster active participation of all members of the educational community in democratic school life, to enable teachers to guide learners in developing key competences for active citizenship & lifelong learning and to upskill school leaders & teachers to use the school’s quality management system to strengthen democratic education and implement the whole school approach.

In order to reach these targets, the project partners will develop surveys for the whole school community (school leaders, teachers, learners, parents) regarding the democratic culture of the school in order to define & continually update the respective needs.

An interactive online platform with tools and methods will serve as means to integrate democratic procedures into daily school life and anchor them in the quality management system. In a pilot project, 10 selected schools will have the opportunity to receive support in their sustainable democratic empowerment.
