It will focus on how education can help bridge the social divide and become a real asset for our diverse democracies. The Forum will analyse the impact of education systems on democracy and identify innovative initiatives and practices which can make education (both formal and non-formal) more democracy-centred, and critically assess their potential to trigger systemic change. The Forum will discuss not only what education can do for democracy but also what democracy can do for education. The call for lab submissions will be published in March 2016.
