Teaching protest and pressure as participation
Teaching protest and pressure as participation

Summary/Abstract: We argue that the notion of protest needs to be included in our global education system as a distinct activity. It needs to take its place alongside other social sciences and humanities courses in our school curricula. We argue that the ability to impact society, to incite societal change, to participate through more means than voting, needs to be taught. It needs to be implemented into our global education system. We know that a lot of societies already teach their students about how citizens can contribute to the democratic system through the citizens’ right to vote – why not take this a step further?
