The Learn to Change’s blog is one way in which we try to support and inspire educators like you.
On it we regularly share valuable resources to re-think how learning happens in groups, classes, work teams, institutions and organizations.
The year has almost come to an end, so we decided to take a moment to revisit the articles featured in 2022.
This is also a great opportunity to check out any articles you may have missed!
This year we shared the Handbook for Teachers, a handbook which is specifically designed to give teachers a compact knowledge of the origins, functions, policies and strategies of the European Union.
In addition, methods are included that aim, on the one hand, to enhance students’ knowledge about the EU and, on the other hand, to support an understanding of and a connection with basic European values.
This manual was developed with suggestions for learning for and through European values using student-centred pedagogies that are fit for upholding a democratic culture in classrooms and schools.

A democratic school does not just happen, it is an ongoing process, and one that may not run smoothly or be harmonious or devoid of conflicting views and opinions.
A truly democratic environment is one in which individuals can constructively interact with others and where people can agree to disagree on issues within a framework where human rights and the rule of law are upheld and respected.
While the immediate responsibility of establishing a democratic school environment may be that of the school principal or leader, in a democracy, there are other stakeholders who have a vested interest in the success of the school – the students, teachers, parents and the wider community (Bäckman & Trafford, 2007).
Democratic environments are the result of a collective effort.

How might conversation and dialogue support the professional development of educators? How do Educators learn through talking?
We talked in deep about this here:
This year we have dedicated our energies to disseminating the Cards for Democracy for All and to creating Scenarios, i.e. activities with which it is possible to make the most of the Cards for Democracy for personal and professional growth.
You can find out more about the Scenarios by visiting the articles we have reserved for them:
Also, we went to Malta for the Summer School.
The T4E Academy for Democracy has been a 5-day educational experience whose program included courses, an open space and trips to the most evocative places of the beautiful island of Malta.
We shared all the experience on our social profiles and we also collected the wonderful words of two of the participants of the T4E Academy for Democracy.
This year has been full of events and initiatives. For more information, find out more on our social profiles and subscribe to our community of practices for Cards 4 Democracy.
Follow us to find out more about our initiatives and to stay updated on upcoming events, there will be many news soon!
In this article we answer some questions regarding the decision to transform Learn to Change from an association to a collective.
In this article, we talk about what we mean by Collective – the new form chosen by L2C – and how you can join it.
Learn to Change’s members held a General Assembly in fall 2022, in which the decision was taken to transform the association into a less formal, and more agile entity. Therefore, we will change status, going from an ‘organization’ to a less formal entity that we name “The collective”
If you feel you are committed to the vision and mission of the association, then your place is here.
We are sure that becoming a member will benefit you in many ways. Read the product description for more details or click sign up now.
