Resumen

Focusing on the relation between Education in general and Citizenship Education in particular some
key questions come to the surface: Which kind of knowledge, skills and attitudes must be promoted?
How can we avoid a dualistic approach? How can we establish bridges between reason and emotion,
personal and social development? Are cooperative learning in the classroom and a multi - minded
school policy strong pillars to build the bridge over trouble water?
Once the conceptual background is established, we’ll present an enquiry conducted with a group of
BA students who have been asked what are their ideas regarding work, character, interpersonal
relations, values and mindsets. This will help us to recommend a number of pedagogical ideas to
encourage students' active citizenship in a global world
