About the STEP UP-DC project:
STEP UP-DC (Student teachers’
practice for democratic culture) is an Erasmus+ KA2 co-funded Project Number:
[2019-1-EL01-KA203-062449]. The project meets the need for teachers’ training
in Democratic pedagogies and the development of democratic ethos by using the
Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture
(RFCDC).
The RFCDC offers a
comprehensive conceptual model of the 20 competences (CDC) that individuals
require in order to function as democratically and interculturally competent
citizens and 138 indicators. These are therefore the competences that need to
be targeted by educators in order to empower learners to act as competent and
effective democratic citizens. These also help to inform teaching practice and
curriculum planning and assessment.
So the main priority tackled
in the STEP UP-DC project identifies the significance of Initial Teacher
Training (ITT) and particularly of the practicum during the Practice Teaching
Programs (PTP) for the development of teachers’ professional knowledge and
skills, the formation of their professional perspectives and views on the
social role of education is well documented. The project started in 2019
and ends in December 2022.
