Active citizenship in a transformative perspective

We know that the European Union (EU) is a quite complex and dynamical legal and po-litical system. An important point, however, is that people have the right to know exactly what is going on, ad described in Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Article 42) and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Article 15). The EU space allow people to ask for receiving information about basically everything hap-pening within the Union. People also have the legal right of ‘access to documents’ of all EU institutions. These possibilities that allow people to take part actively in public debate and institution is formally a right, but it has to be educated for becoming a real process. The Higher Education is not always involved in the debate on active citizenships, direct-ly. How to introduce this task into curricula, as a specific content or an implicit learning outcome of discipline? The idea is to use the category described by Brookfiled, Mezirow and other scholars for underlining the different area of interest that could be used at university. The proposal will show how the emancipatory theory could explore different ways to work in Higher Education with a particular attention to Active Citizenship goals.
