The Call for Participation: A Vision Exempt from Inequality? Year of publication: 2010 Author: Yolande Pelchat Corporate author: Nouvelles pratiques sociales Citizen participation, which is promoted by the New Public Management, conveys a high symbolic value. Citizen participation is generally associated with the consideration of others’ voices, recognition, emancipation, empowerment and well-being. In short, it carries the promise of a more just world with greater social solidarity and less hierarchic social relations. This paper proposes to leave aside this fashionable rhetoric, at least temporarily, and to search for what might have been left at its borders. This exploratory journey aims to reframe, within larger debates about democracy, the call for participation and its assumed or desired effects. The invitation to beware of losing, on the way, the radical nature of democracy, is issued. 
Making Democracy an Ethic and a Pedagogy Year of publication: 2017 Author: Christophe Point Corporate author: Éthique en éducation et en formation This article presents the argument that an ethics of democracy in the school requires an appropriate pedagogy. This pedagogy cannot be limited to theoretical content or to an assortment of civic actions because democracy is not composed either of a particular set of facts, concepts or dates, or of an undetermined social behaviour. According to the approach of John Dewey, who places inquiry at the center of his definition of democracy, we wish to demonstrate a double benefit from pragmatist thinking. For ethics, in defining democracy as a habit of collective thinking, we wish to construct values that can be shared by all participants in the school environment. For pedagogy, this habit of inquiry can lend itself to all subjects taught at school without limiting itself to a particular discipline. Finally, we will propose a modeling of this democratic education for a step-by-step didactic progression.

Citizens but not Adults? Injunction to be Responsible and Citizens in Official Coming of Age Rituals in Switzerland Year of publication: 2018 Author: Maxime Felder | Laurence Ossipow | Isabelle Csupor Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques Swiss municipalities organize ceremonies for their residents reaching the official age of full citizenship. In the six studied municipalities, local authorities invite them to a municipal council’s meeting, offer them a dinner or an aperitif, or organize them a show and a debate with role models. Speeches are central to these ceremonies, and authority representatives encourage their audience to be “good” citizens. Call to vote is the leitmotiv, but discourses reveal broader definitions of citizenship, insisting sometimes on a local commitment and volunteering, and sometimes on the necessity to fight climate change and inequalities. Comparing officials’ speeches to statements of young people participating in these events reveals “tensions”. Indeed, authority representatives address young citizens without considering them as fully adult, and they do not consider themselves as such neither. However, some of them are already involved in forms of vernacular citizenship, and are progressively leaving the municipality to study, work or travel. Ultimately, these ceremonies allow officials to stage their interest in the youth, which they consider as both uncompleted and essential to the renewal of democracy.
