Social Participation Through Volunteering as Co-production of Public Services: Case Study of Latvia

Active civic and social participation is considered to be significantly important for a country`s development in democratic societies.

La representación de la protesta contra Educación para la Ciudadanía en ABC y La Razón
2013
El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar en el tratamiento periodístico que recibió la protesta en contra de la asignatura Educación para la Ciudadanía por parte de los dos diarios ideológicamente más próximos a los impulsores de la controversia.

The aim of this work is to study the journalistic treatment that the protest agains…

School administrators’ perceptions of democratic coexistence in Catalan schools: An analytical study
2022
In democratic societies, education should help build a participative, critical and responsible citizenry and therefore promote the role of schools as settings where students learn democratic coexistence. With the study reported on here we aimed to analyse how coexistence is fostered in classrooms and schools, as well as the possible synergy between schools’ efforts to educate in democratic coexistence, and the children’s social participation in their setting. To do so, we focused on the perspective of 476 school administrators at schools in Catalonia (Spain) based on an ad-hoc questionnaire comprised of 22 items on a Likert scale. The results reflect settings that value democratic coexisten…
Planning teachers' professional development for global education 1
2004
Group consultation was used with educators at different stages of their careers as an innovative research tool in the development of both pre- and in-service teacher training for world citizenship education. The themes identified by the teachers were quite broad, and included the need for more educational philosophy, varied educational methodology and the skills to collaborate with other teachers in order to create a “culture of consultation in schools”. Involving teachers in the field was found to be essential in identifying critical areas for training, as well as for appropriate means and implementation. A survey of seminar participants (n 35) showed new paths for development in the area …

Systems Thinking and Sustainability in Organisations
2015
This set of articles arises from a series of conferences (Business Systems Laboratory Symposia, 2013-2015) and in particular from the 2nd Business systems Laboratory International Symposium, Rome 2014 with the theme ‘Systems Thinking for a Sustainable Economy’, concerned with systems thinking and its relations with sustainable management, where the relevance of systems thinking was demonstrated. The current period of our global society is characterised by intense transformations in the competitive logics of organisations, markets, and, generally speaking, society. Social circumstances today are typified by dynamism, connectivity, nonlinearity, and emergent properties — in other words by ‘co…
Un estudio exploratorio sobre los presupuestos participativos infantiles en el ámbito local español
2022
Esta nota metodológica adelanta datos valiosos sobre una investigación en curso, cuyo objetivo fundamental es comprobar la validez de una serie de variables que sirvan para el estudio del fenómeno de presupuestos participativos infantiles en España durante un periodo comprendido entre el 2015 y el 2021. Al igual que ocurre con esta experiencia participativa en el ámbito adulto, su definición es complicada dada la adaptación de la metodología al entorno en el que se implementa. Para su conformación, se han realizado encuestas de pregunta abierta (35 respuestas válidas) que han sido estudiadas a través de un análisis de datos cualitativos y el uso del programa MAXQDA. La realización de este e…
