Integrative models of education for citizenship

Abstract

Developing an active citizenship is essential to reach a social participation under principles such as mutual respect and non-violence in accordance with human rights. Our society needs to train people with decision-making capacity and critical thinking to face common problems. This handbook provides readers with a global perspective about what integrative models of education are, and with an approach to the concept of active citizenship, which includes the defence of human rights with features of inclusion and equity, and its application in the classroom. Moreover, it contributes to reach the starting point for developing innovative alternatives of education with traits of those skills that our society strongly demands.
