This topical book examines the connections between theory and practice in citizenship learning. Focusing on the experiences and views of a range of citizens, many on the margins of society, the contributors explore the significance and impact of particular forms of educational policies and provision in peoples' lives and the role adult learning can play in the development of citizenship. Organised into three sections, the book provides a theoretical overview and a framework for understanding the links between learning and citizenship. This is followed by an exploration of the voices of different citizens as they seek to develop their lives and learning. The final section brings together theory and practice and identifies ten 'Propositions for Practice' in developing adult learning for citizenship, primarily in community contexts.

This book contains the materials required to conduct a seven-unit course in what it means to be an active citizen in the United Kingdom. The units are intended to be used in return to study and access courses and were written to be of immediate practical relevance to providers of further education college- or community-based courses for various audiences, including voluntary, women's, and self-advocacy groups and tenant's associations. The materials are designed to develop students' critical thinking skills, extend their critical understanding of democratic and legal processes, and promote development of practical skills of advocacy and assertion. Each unit contains student materials, tutor's notes (including methods for presenting the unit, discussion questions, and group activities), and suggestions for further study. The lesson topics are as follows: rights and responsibilities of citizenship; making and changing laws; democracy and disability (statistics, campaigning for change, the politics of disability); health and citizenship (illness and society, health care entitlements, community health councils); education (citizen involvement, statistics, life after school); justice and the legal system (the criminal and civil systems, the courts, costs of the legal system); and belonging and unbelonging (British subjects and passport holders over the past 50 years).

This book explores the contemporary approaches to democratic citizenship and community-based education. It provides a series of case studies and reflects on the lessons of national initiatives. The book shows how professionals can work effectively to facilitate and promote active learning for active citizenship. The case studies include examples of socially excluded groups, such as refugees, asylum seekers, and migrant workers, as well as with anti-racist activists among more established communities. There are also case studies of programs working with a range of women, people with disabilities and their care givers, and with faith-based organizations. The book goes on to look at these approaches in a wider context, looking at the potential for developing global dimensions to citizenship in an increasingly globalized world. *** "Community groups and non-governmental organizations working in the area of citizenship would greatly benefit from reading Taking Part'. Mayo and Annette have written, edited, and organized an accessible text filled with critical questions, lessons learned, and validation for community-centred development. John Grayson's chapter on the use of popular education as a method to challenge racist ideology is of particular relevance. Taking Part? is a hopeful read and provides an adult education model aimed at empowering citizens to take part to improve the global community." - Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education, Vol. 6, No. 1, February 2014 *** "I found much of the work reported in this book inspiring....maintains a high standard throughout." ~ Tom Bourner, Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning~

The third sector, or the voluntary, civic sector of society, is taking on increasing prominence in the face of retrenchment, austerity, and decreasing confidence in government. This book is the first to offer an up-close look at the relationship between active citizenship and civil society and how that relates to third-sector activities. Drawing on a wide range of theory and case studies, the book explores questions of social connectedness, changing forms of political engagement, and the increasing complexity of the social and environmental problems that the third sector confronts. It will be invaluable for theorists, scholars, and organizers.

This is a book with a difference: it produces a completely new perspective on lifelong learning and the learning society and locates them within humanity itself. Five themes run through this book: Humankind has always been aware of the imperfections of human society: as a consequence, it has looked back to a mythological past and forward to a utopian future that might be religious, political, economic or even educational to find something better. Lifelong learning as we currently see it is like two sides of the same coin: we learn in order to be workers who produce, and learn we have a need to consume. We then devour the commodities we have produced, whilst others take the profits! One of the greatest paradoxes of the human condition has been the place of the individual in the group/community, or conversely how the groups allow the individual to exist rather than stifle individuality Modernity is flawed and the type of society that we currently have, which we in the West call a learning society, is in need of an ethical overhaul in this late modern age. There is a need to bring a different perspective – both political and ethical – on lifelong learning and the learning society in order to try to understand what the good society and the good life might become. In Democracy, Lifelong Learning and the Learning Society, the third volume of his trilogy on lifelong learning, Professor Jarvis expertly addresses the issues that arise from the vision of the learning society. The book concludes that since human beings continue to learn, so the learning society must be a process within the incomplete project of humanity. All three books in the trilogy will be essential reading for students in education, HRD and teaching and learning generally, in addition to academics and informed practitioners. The Lifelong Learning and the Learning Society Trilogy Volume 1: Towards a Comprehensive Theory of Human Learning Volume 2: Globalisation, Lifelong Learning and the Learning Society Volume 3: Democracy, Lifelong Learning and the Learning Society Peter Jarvis is an internationally renowned expert in the field of adult learning and continuing education. He is Professor of Continuing Education at the University of Surrey, UK, and honorary Adjunct Professor in Adult Education at the University of Georgia, USA.
