Riconoscersi cittadini per vivere da cittadini. Lo Ius Scholae, una via essenziale per una scuola inclusiva e educante
2022
La presente proposta intende offrire una riflessione pedagogica sulla necessità di favorire processi inclusivi, secondo una prospettiva interculturale, per studenti migranti di seconda e terza generazione che frequentano le nostre scuole. Si tratta di una prospettiva, quella dell’inclusione, che nell’orizzonte di ricerca interculturale può essere considerata la migliore ipotesi, dal punto di vista politico e morale, per dar vita a processi di coinvolgimento attivo in un’ottica di corresponsabilità e co-progettazione condivisa tra le diverse agenzie educative. In particolare, questa proposta intende portare alla luce la problematica vissuta da molti studenti con origini familiari straniere a…
Managing Mental Standards with Corporate Citizenship Profiles
2011
Stakeholder expectations of corporate responsibility are growing and thus understanding the dynamics of expectations is becoming important for companies. Stakeholder expectations that are met open doors for stakeholder favor, whereas unmet expectations may hinder or even prevent collaboration. While all companies are expected to be responsible enough to keep away from causing harm to others, a competitive edge can only be achieved if the minimum expectations are exceeded. The paper suggests that companies can both exceed and manage stakeholder expectations in practice by building up a corporate citizenship profile that gives direction to their specialization in responsibility. This niche ca…
Signed, Sealed, and Delivered with Trust: Non-Resident Citizens’ Experiences of Newly Adopted Postal Voting
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that the traditional “booth, ballot, and pen” model of voting, based on a specific location and physical presence, may not be feasible during a health crisis. This situation has highlighted the need to assess whether existing national electoral legislation includes enough instruments to ensure citizens’ safety during voting procedures, even under the conditions of a global pandemic. Such instruments, often grouped under the umbrella of voter facilitation or convenience voting, range from voting in advance and various forms of absentee voting (postal, online, and proxy voting) to assisted voting and voting at home and in hospitals and other healthcare …
Is no One Left Behind? Inclusive Citizenship in Practices of Self-help Groups in Rural Tanzania
2023
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are based on the Agenda 2030 according to which ‘no one is left behind’, highlighting the need for inclusive citizenship at all levels. This article examines self-help groups in rural Tanzania as potential arenas for inclusive citizenship, which is defined as bottom-up practices of membership, participation, and livelihood enhancement. However, inclusive citizenship is also characterised by exclusions. Therefore, while acknowledging the important contribution of self-help groups for development, this article scrutinises the question of patterns of exclusion, first, in practices of self-help groups, and second, in the relationships bet…
Verso una geografia per la partecipazione

Prawo petycji w teorii i praktyce Sejmu VIII kadencji
2021
Prawo petycji zostało wprowadzone do polskiego porządku prawnego w Konstytucji marcowej z 1921 r. W kolejnych ustawach zasadniczych przepis ten został wykreślony i pojawił się ponownie w Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej z 1997 r. Przez wiele lat prawo petycji było nieprecyzyjnie określone (mylone często ze skargami i wnioskami). W artykule dokonano analizy petycji wnoszonych w trakcie VIII kadencji Sejmu, ponieważ była pierwszą, w której obywatele mogli w pełni realizować swoje uprawnienie, zgodnie z ustawą o petycjach uchwaloną 11 lipca 2014 r. Analizie poddano 605 petycji, biorąc pod uwagę kryterium sposobu załatwienia sprawy, tematykę (przedmiot) wniesionych do Sejmu petycji czy cza…
Examining how global citizenship education is prefigured in the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence
2021
This study uses the Aristotelian notion of phronesis as a critical lens for examining how global citizenship education is prefigured in the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. Based on a content analysis of key curriculum documentation, the findings outline the way in which techne and episteme with their associated ways of knowing and acting dominate the curriculum. Nevertheless, the hints of phronesis indicate the potential for developing a more critical form of global citizenship education that prefigures praxis that wisely pursues that which is good for humankind and individual flourishing. This article contributes to the notion of ‘planetary phronesis’ as a critical concept for the furt…
