Vardagens civilkurage is a youth organization that promotes active citizenship, democracy and equality. The purpose of the association is, through practical training, to promote skills and knowledge of civil courage for children and youths. Through our method children and youths learn to intervene in different life situations characterized by oppression, inequality, exclusionary norms, abuse of power, discrimination, injustice and violence.
The main activity within the organisation is our practical civil courage training, which we call a Dojo. By using a roleplay method we stage a situation where we see injustice or oppression of any kind. By doing this we create the opportunity to concrete and practical try out different techniques in order to make the situation more democratic or just.
Each training would focus on a different themes, such as racism, sexism or maybe different kinds of suppression techniques(härskartekniker). All of these oppression do exist in differents places, it could be on the street but also around the family dinner. We believe that civil courage training is something everyone could and also should take part in and therefor that is our main activity within the organisation.
