Conclusions Children and youth actually want to make a difference They find it difficult to influence We have to develop a frame where we can develop children’s and youth empowerment - on personal level, community level and society level towards citizenship

The IVAC-approach Investigation –What it’s all about? –Why is it important? –How was it in former times and how has it changed Visions –What alternatives can we imagine? –How are conditions in other countries and other cultures? –What do we prefer and why? Action and change –What changes will bring us closer to our visions? –What action possibilities exist in order to reach the changes? –Which actions will you carry out?

Perspectives for the teaching Children want to be active –Investigate, ask questions, find answers, express themselves Anther teacher role –Help the children to investigate etc. Try to act –Use the schools as laboratory for actions, make suggestions for the council, try to act or start discussions in local community, make campaigns, being advisers etc.
