Background

The Teacher Reflection Tool aims to support teachers and other educators to develop their own competences for democratic culture and a “democratic professional ethos”, which builds on the values of democracy, human rights, and intercultural dialogue. 

The tool is designed to be used as a companion to self-reflection on teaching and democratic competences. 

At the same time, it offers guidance on working with the Council of Europe’s RFCDC on topics including: 

- Making children’s and students’ voices heard
- Addressing controversial issues
- Preventing violence and bullying
- Dealing with propaganda, misinformation, and fake news
- Tackling discrimination
