Based on interviews with 59 students from LAS programmes across Europe, the book posits that LAS education can develop a range of citizenship skills that are central to the democratic process. The interviews provide insight into how studying LAS prepares students for citizenship by asking them to reflect on their education, what it taught them, and how it did so. Building on these insights, seven key democratic competencies are identified and linked to concrete educational practices that foster them, leading to an agenda for higher education reform. Ultimately arguing for making the teaching of civic virtue a more central part of university education in Europe, this book will appeal to researchers, educators, and politicians with an interest in education policy, philosophy of education, and democratic theory, as well as concerned citizens. 410 0$aRoutledge research in character and virtue education. 517 $aSeven Democratic Virtues of Liberal Education 606 $aVirtues 606 $aCitizenship$zEurope 606 $aCivics, European$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aDemocracy and education$zEurope 606 $aEducation, Higher$xPolitical aspects$zEurope 606 $aEducation, Humanistic$zEurope 615 0$aVirtues. 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCivics, European$xStudy and teaching (Higher). 615 0$aDemocracy and education 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEducation, Humanistic 676 $a241.4 700 $aDekker$b Teun J.$01460937 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774741403321 996 $aSeven democratic virtues of liberal education$93661225 997 $aUNINA
