From Education for Democratic Culture to Education for Resilience. Are they Different in Building Competences to Combat Disinformation?

Summary/Abstract: Building resilience is a complex process, starting from the definition that we may attribute to the concept. From one country to another, form one organization to another, the concept shifts its meaning from essential to minor aspects. From a particular security policy to an overarching policy, one may identify all range of approaches towards resilience. What is clear is that resilience should help communities to better respond to threats and to better recover in the aftermath of an event. Also, we know that education should set the scene for this process. In which way, it is not clear yet. This could be a consequence of the problems in definition and taxonomy, or a result of the constantly changing threats. The article looks back to the way the concepts of education for peace, education for democratic citizenship and culture have evolved, trying to identify common grounds, if any, to a possible concept of education for resilience. The emphasis is put on the efforts to combat disinformation as it is a stringent need of the current security context.
