Civic skills, knowledge and attitudes are the elements forming the citizenship concept. How do they suit multicultural societies?

SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) is used for data processing. The authors used multi-modelling to compare Latvian and Est…
Developing support teachers’ digital competencies for an inclusive citizenship
2021
The present work focuses on the construct of digital citizenship from an educational and inclusive point of view. Considering the general European interest in implementing citizens’ digital skills and with particular care for the contemporary situ-ation of overall emergency, due to the Covid 19 pandemic case, the idea is that of con-sidering a possible conceptual link between digital skills and the Capability Approach. In the light of an ‘Education for all’, the aware development of teachers and, particu-larly support teachers’ digital skills, may be a crucial key to enact inclusive processes able to guarantee any pupil and student the chance to become a capable and valu-able citizen, despi…

Mediacion, Ciudadania y convivencia entre culturas
2015
Vivere la democrazia in una società multiculturale presuppone che i soggetti presenti nello stesso territorio condividano lo stesso spazio pubblico e un progetto democratico comune nel rispetto del diritto e delle procedure giuridiche e politiche. Presuppone anche che le persone arrivino a trovare (o a ritrovare) il sentirsi comunità, che sviluppino un senso di appartenenza comune e instaurino tra loro relazioni fiduciarie a partire dalle quali e grazie alle quali vivere l’esperienza di convivenza quotidiana in termini di condivisione delle responsabilità e di valore della relazione. In questa direzione, la mediazione può portare un importante contributo alla costruzione, o ricostruzione, d…

Kävijät, kokijat, kokemukset: Museologinen tutkimus Siffin senioriklubista taidemuseon keskiössä
2019
Museums have a diverse selection of professional experts participating in preparation for exhibitions and activities with the public. In museums expectations and experiences concerning the visiting public can vary from extreme openness to very traditional approaches. This research focuses on the Sinebrychoff Museum's Senior Citizen Club and its members. What makes people become involved in museum programmes and become regular visitors is the focal point of the study. When exploring the activities of the visiting public in museums, when seeing a person through operative and practical routines as a `client', a theory of recognition, but also of non-recognition, can be applied. This research c…
Women’s Multifaceted Citizenship : Identity, Belonging and Spaces of Participation in Rural Uganda
2022
This article analyses manifestations of women’s citizenship in diverse spaces of everyday participation in the rural districts of Kiboga and Namutumba in Uganda. Building on citizenship studies scholarship, we propose the notion of multifaceted citizenship, which ‘takes place’ in the same spaces of participation as processes of identity formation and belonging. Thus, our article also explores how identities and belonging manifest in spaces of participation. Drawing on content analysis of 50 qualitative interviews, we begin by investigating the spaces of participation that are experienced as meaningful by women. We then classify identities into five main categories: active resident, member, …
Exploring Obutyamye as Material Citizenship in Busoga Subregion, Uganda
2022
This article explores how being a citizen is inexorably bound up with the resources individuals own and deploy to support livelihoods in the rural locations of postcolonial states. Drawing on the works of Kabeer (2006) and Baglioni (2016), the article zooms in on how citizenship is manifestly and inescapably material in the Busoga subregion of eastern Uganda. Data for the article were collected using qualitative methods among beneficiaries of antipoverty programmes implemented by Action for Development (ACFODE), a national non-governmental organization (NGO). Findings show that, locally, citizenship is understood as obutyamye, connoting an (un)equal experience of being in, for and with the …
