Democracy faces numerous challenges in our country. The prospects for democratization are not promising in many regions of the world. Can we rely on the police, intelligence services, and the Federal Constitutional Court in the Federal Republic to be sufficient bastions of democracy? How does political education deal with the diverse hopes and expectations, as well as the disappointments, uncertainties, and dissatisfaction? New approaches in democracy education provide necessary and commendable support in this regard. In addition to political and institutional education, the civil society and everyday aspects of democracy must be much more intensively experienced, taught, and learned in schools.
