The Democratic Man Seminar

A seminar dealing with the essence of democracy as a shared society for different people. Through encountering and dealing with issues and disputes from everyday life, participants will practice dealing with disagreement and receive tools for discourse that strengthens the foundations of mutual responsibility even in the face of differences of opinion.

מדינת ישראל היא מדינה דמוקרטית מיום היווסדה, תוך הכלה של קבוצות, זרמים ודעות שונים והתמודדות עם מתחים חברתיים מורכבים. בני הנוער הגדלים ומתבגרים במדינה חיים במדינה דמוקרטית מיום לידתם או עלייתם לארץ. כמחנכים מוטלת עלינו המשימה לחנך את האזרחים הבוגרים של העתיד – אזרחים שלא חיים את הדמוקרטיה באופן פסיבי ובלתי מודע, אלא בוחרים להיות אדם דמוקרטי בכל תחומי החיים, תוך מימוש ערכי כבוד האדם והאחריות החברתית העומדים בבסיס הדמוקרטיה.

על רקע התגברותן של תופעות אנטי-דמוקרטיות בחברה הישראלית, אנו רואים לנכון לחזק את התודעה והאחריות הדמוקרטית בקרב בני הנוער. סמינר זה עוסק בכך תוך הצבת דילמות חברתיות אקטואליות וההבנה שלכל אחד מאתנו תפקיד מכריע בעיצוב המציאות במדינה.

מהלך הסמינר:

  • פתיחה משחקים שוברי שיגרה
  • מגבלות הכוח בדמוקרטיה – בחינה של השיטה הדמוקרטית בין שיטה למהות
  • בין מדינה דמוקרטית לחברה דמוקרטית- איך אנשים שונים יכולים לחיות יחד?
  • סיכום – שונים זה מזה אך שווים זה לזה, איך ניצור חברה כזו?

חלק ב:

  • איך הכול התחיל – איך הגיעו להסכמות עם הקמת המדינה?
  • תרגול חוסר הסכמה ושיטות שונות להתמודדות עם מחלוקת.
  • סיכום מה היכולת שלנו להשפיע על המציאות
