Burgerschapsvorming anders: Een pleidooi voor zakelijk onderwijs

Views on the nature of citizenship are widely diverse. Education should take this diversity into account. However, the citizenship education propagated by European policy adheres to a limited normative framework, a hybrid of liberal and republican citizenship ideologies. More or less the same applies to Dutch policy. The one-sidedness of European and Dutch policy is illustrated and crit-icised. Subsequently, the possibility of an alternative approach is examined: whether citizenship education can be conceived differently and whether it can be organised differently, in such a way as to do sufficient justice to the diversity of views on citizenship.
