Summary :7.x billion of inhabitants on the Earth and 7.x billion of mobiles doesn’t mean that THE PROBLEMATIC of the Information Society is solved.

In the euphoria of « Tomorrow the Beaujolais is free », we should consider in a more objective way, not only the great number of opportunities and challenges emerging with IT evolution, but also some negative side-effects.

Among some concepts like : disruptive technologies, sustainable education, destructive innovation, programmed obsolescence, mastering the changes, transversal approaches, learning organisations, green IT, collaps of civilisations and societies, complex systems approaches,digital natives vs digital migrants, learning for democracy,factories for the future, etc.. We will try to extract some positive trends with guidelines for prospective and expose constructive approaches for an inclusive and sustainable Information Society

…Rediscovery of an « old » contribution

Reclaiming Social Purpose in Community Education - The Edimburgh paper 2008

namely the last chapter with the title

Learning for Democracy :

Ten Propositions and Ten Proposals

Akwugo Emejulu, University of Strathclyde


Ten Propositions - Democracy is about:

1. Freedom

The flourishing of human attainment is achieved through

freedom to act individually and collectively, only constrained by

due consideration for others.

2. Equality

People are of the same moral worth and are obliged to mind the

equality of others.

3. Justice

Social justice and democracy are interdependent; an unequal society is an undemocratic society and an undemocratic society breeds inequality.

4. Solidarity

We are all interdependent. Shared aims and values arise from the

pursuit of common and mutually supportive ways of living.

5. Diversity

Differences of culture and identity can enrich common life and

help to build a common culture.


6. Accountability

Citizens are accountable for their commitment to the common good, and the state for providing the policy framework within which judgements about common good are made and contested. Those who hold power are answerable to the people.

7. Dialogue

A democratic culture requires a process of purposeful exchange;

learning to argue, articulate beliefs, deliberate and come to

collective decisions concerning what constitutes the good society.

8. Responsibility

Consistency and coherence between private and public

behaviour is essential for democratic life.

9. Participation

Democracy is something to be demanded from below rather than handed down from above. It requires the active involvement of people in deliberation and decision-making.

10. Sustainability

A commitment to the environment, the planet and future

generations requires opposition to those forces which are

wasteful and destructive.


Ten proposals - Learning for democracy means :

1. Taking sides

Educational workers are not merely enablers or facilitators taking their brief from ‘the community’. The claim to neutrality reinforces and legitimises existing power relations. Practitioners need to be clear what they stand for – and against.

2. Acting in solidarity with communities and social movements

Educational workers should proactively seek opportunities to engage in a critical and committed way with communities and social movements around progressive social change.

3. Taking risks

Critical and creative educational processes are necessarily

unpredictable and open ended. Exposing the contested nature of

social reality can be both a liberating and challenging process.

4. Developing political literacy

Politics needs to be made more educational and education made more political. Learning to analyse, argue, collaborate, and take action on issues that matter requires a systematic educational process.

5. Working at the grassroots

Democracy lives through ordinary people’s actions; it does not depend on state sanction. Professional workers should be in everyday contact with people on their own terms and on their own ground.


6. Listening to dissenting voices

Achieving a participatory democracy is a process of creating spaces in which different interests are expressed and voices heard; in which dissent is valued rather than suppressed.

7. Cultivating awkwardness

Democracy is not served well by the conformist citizen. This means that the educational task is to create situations in which people can confront their circumstances, question deficit definitions of their experience and take action.

8. Educating for social change

Progressive change comes about through collective action. Learning for democracy can contribute to this process by linking micro level experience with macro level explanations and processes.

9. Exploring alternatives

Learning for democracy can provide people with the opportunity to see that the status quo is not inevitable; that ‘another world is possible’.

10. Exposing the power of language

The words used to describe the world influence how we all think and act. Learning for democracy involves exploring how language reproduces discriminatory attitudes, norms and values.
