In a daylong workshop, teachers were trained in the Center's upper elementary and primary Foundations of Democracy curriculum. Center staff Ken Rodriguez and Jack Hoar along with Miller teachers Kim and Pam Allender undertook the training. The teachers responded enthusiastically to the materials, finding them age appropriate, with illustrations supporting the content-especially valuable for second-language learners.

Extractions: This lesson introduces you to some intellectual tools which are useful in resolving issues of corrective justice. When you have completed this lesson, you should be able to explain and use these intellectual tools. Other intellectual tools which you can use to evaluate, take, and defend positions on issues of corrective justice will be introduced in the next lesson. wrong regret As you have learned, a basic goal of corrective justice is to "set things right" in a fair way when a wrong or injury has happened. Other important goals of corrective justice are to prevent additional wrongs or injuries and to deter others from committing such wrongs or injuries. Deciding what is fair may be simple in some situations, such as when a young child takes away the toy (property) of another child. Our sense of justice may be met by merely restoring the toy. Our interest in preventing such things from happening again may be met by informing the child that it is wrong to take another person's property without permission. It is hoped these actions will teach the child proper behavior.

Extractions: New Delhi, India 5-7 March 2003 Since its foundation, International IDEA has been hosting meetings of electoral administrators, originally from its member states, but now increasingly from many other countries and international organisations. The last of these bi-annual meetings was held in Stockholm, Sweden in June 2001. These meetings have been characterised by their participatory nature and practical focus. Electoral participation is an increasingly vital issue, and one that is common to established and developing democracies. This meeting will provide a forum for the discussion of themes such as quantitative vs qualitative participation; voter registration; the role of the media in encouraging electoral participation and barriers to participation for marginalised groups.
Islamic Ethics And Foundations Of Democracy
Islamic Ethics and foundations of democracy Most Muslim countries seem to face todays the menace of violent struggle between opposite forces calling for deep social and political change.
http://www.ned.org/grantees/Prologues/program1.html

Extractions: Most Muslim countries seem to face todays the menace of violent struggle between opposite forces calling for deep social and political change. In fact, the need for change is real and in some cases very strongly felt by large sections of the population. However, the prevailing conditions prevent a real and open participation of the masses in the preparation of these changes. In other words there is, in these societies an important need for a wide and sincere debate on the vital questions facing the present generations, particularly those related to the « sacred » and its role in the social and political order. At the same time, many intellectual currents, mostly those who are attached to democratic values (including some with religious inclinations), do not have opportunities for self expression, as a result of either of authoritative methods used by some governments or demagogic means adopted by the religious activits. The project aimed at organising a series of debates between « realy different » partners: Theologians, philosophers, historians, social scientists, lawyers... of different conceptual orientations (modern and traditional intellectuals, secularists and critics of secularism...). These debates were focused on the ways and means of bridging universal principles proposed by monotheistic religions (and Islam in particular) and the basic conceptions which support democracy. The principal objectives were to initiate a process of open and serene discussion of semsible themes, and to enable different opinions to inform the masses. Some of the main questions to be debate were :

Foundations Of Democracy
THE MYTH about the foundation of democracy and free to every student must not becomethe final casualty in destruction of our democratic community foundations!
http://www.nstu.ns.ca/issues/myths/pepff13.html

Extractions: Class Warfare authors Maude Barlow and Heather-jane Robertson write that public school education is the great equalizer in a pluralistic society. Public education, they state, ensures the future of the democratic process. Schools reflect communities and community values, and have done so for hundreds of years. Settlers established their communities upon their church, school and homes. The decline of churches in the daily life of communities, has left schools as the sole remaining stabilizing factor. In the latter part of our century, the public school faces "restructuring" by those who encourage private control and ownership of this public service which has remained free and accessible to every student. The move to privatize more public schools is a move to two-tier education. Regardless of initial intent, any long-range scenario would result in affluent communities having well equipped schools while poorer areas struggled with reduced resources.
