CR&DALL Deputy Director Leping Mou attended the recent Democrat project conference in Barcelona (20-21 November), where former Director Prof Mike Osborne acted as the conference Rapporteur. The conference was an immense success, bringing together leading figures from European democracy as well as academics and practitioners in the space of Education for Democract and Civic Engagement. Mike has kindly shared his conference report which we publish below.

We welcome Professor Gerlese Akerlind, Professor Emerita at the Australian National University, who will speak about both phenomenology as a research method and the insights into learning that it can provide.
