OUR VISION
Education for Solidarity and Coexistence
At FCB asbl, we believe that education is a powerful tool for fostering solidarity and coexistence.
Our vision of citizen pedagogy is based on three key principles:
- Sharpen Critical Thinking: We view training and education as more than just the accumulation of knowledge. It is about developing critical thinking skills that enable individuals to decode and transform the world around them. We encourage learners to question, analyze, and engage critically with the issues that shape society.
- The End of Verticality: We advocate for a global approach to education that goes beyond traditional hierarchies. Our aim is to establish new relationships between trainers and learners, moving away from vertical and hierarchical structures. Instead, we promote dialogical relationships where open communication, collaboration, and mutual respect thrive.
- Valuing the Learner: At FCB asbl, we recognize the importance of valuing the learner as an active participant in the learning process. We believe in taking into account learners’ knowledge, experiences, and life paths. Teaching and learning are mutually enriching actions, and we understand that effective education cannot exist without acknowledging and valuing the unique perspectives and contributions of each learner.
