International Symposium on Democracy, Global Citizenship and Transformative Education
PRESENTERS
DEMOCRACY
D
Democracy (D) refers to the collective plan aimed at the well-being for of all living together. It relates to the pursuit of democratic values through an inclusive, dynamic, critical, and continuously-evolving process that involves all spheres of society. Unlike the traditional, unidimensional, and partisan approach (the election-centered approach), the notion of broad democracy (thick or dense) reclaims the affairs of the City (in Greek Polis) and appeals to: engagement and learning, vigilance, active participation, and social dialogue and deliberation as well as consensus and joint decision-making in the interest of political literacy. Thick or dense democracy relies, among other things, on the use of contemporary communication media that open up spaces that can foster social dialogue and citizen participation.
THE
SYMPOSIUM
Running October 25-28, 2022, on Zoom, Facebook Live, and in person in Valparaíso, Chile, the symposium will welcome attendees to 40 diverse live sessions, including plenaries, panels, and roundtable discussions in English, French and Spanish.
After the first DCMÉT Symposium, which took place on May 17-21, 2021, online through Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube, the 2022 symposium has shifted its centre to South America, and will have 18 sessions in Spanish, 9 in French, and 9 in English. Access to all sessions (in 2021 and 2022) is free, with no registration costs.
The Symposium aims to provide a platform for dialogue while examining contemporary issues at the intersection of debates in democracy, global citizenship, and transformative education.

GLOBAL
CITIZENSHIP
GC
Global Citizenship (GC) refers to the individual plan underpinning the resistance-resilience of the people and citizens, who have been adversely affected by sexism, racism, colonialism, exacerbated nationalism, extremism or other kinds of structural violence. It is a socially-supported therapeutic treatment for the various citizenships that have been injured in their bodies (due to physical and/or phenotypical aspects), their hearts (due to emotional and relational aspects), their spirits (due to intellectual aspects) and their soul (due to spiritual aspects). In a clear cognitive and epistemological rupture concerning the notion of citizenship presented through neo-liberal globalization (and its defense of uniformity, unicity and anti-diversity) and within a confined and self-contained citizenship, global citizenship is fundamentally rooted in an identity-based soil, which is richly imbued in its multiple affiliations as well as within a social context rich in diversity. It also unfolds its branches in a form of ‘globality,’ which fully connects with its relations to Oneself and to the Other. Global citizenship can be seen as a permanently-renewed quest for the presence of Oneself, of the Other, and of the world, and a pursuit that is, simultaneously, both personal and contextual.

TRANSFORMATIVE
EDUCATION
TE
Transformative Education (TE) concerns to the necessary intersection of the collective plan (democracy) and the individual plan (global citizenship) in formal, non-formal or informal contexts. It echoes the emancipatory nature of all veritable education from a holistic perspective that takes into account its physical, cognitive, metacognitive, affective, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions. An education that oppresses, alienates, and is complicit in the dispossession of the being from Oneself constitutes a miseducation. Transformative education is a process of critical awareness of issues and challenges related to fundamental social issues. In formal contexts, transformative education presupposes pedagogies, epistemologies and didactics that are also transformative. Transformative education is linked to democracy and global citizenship in four dimensions:
-
Transformative Education about Democracy and about Global Citizenship (ontological dimension);
-
Transformative Education through Democracy and through Global Citizenship (praxiological dimension);
-
Transformative Education related to Democracy and to Global Citizenship (epistemological dimension);
-
Transformative Education for Democracy and for Global Citizenship (axiological dimension).
