Encouraging citizens to participate in democratic processes and responding to many public spheres, including education policy, are key elements of participatory democracy. Formal and informal education is vital for the development of active citizenship, the quality of participation in a democratic society and the development of democratic cultures. teachers' roles in fostering the learning of democracy through active and participatory approaches are indispensable (Gollob et. al, 2007). Hence, the candidate teachers have a vital role in the adoption of the democratic way of life, both as the youth of the nation and as potential agents of change. Therefore, their political participation needs to be meaningful and effective. There is many researches on the role of young people in the in developing and maintaining of the democratic way of life in a society. As said by the report of United Nations Development Program (UNDP), 20 percent of the world’s population consists of young people aged between 15 and 25 years old. Although young people often participate in unofficial political events such as activism or civic participation, they are not officially embodied in national political institutions such as parliaments, and many do not participate in elections. This can adversely affect the quality of democratic governance. The uprising and various occupation movements in Arab countries between 2011 and 2012 showed that it is important to involve young people in official politics (UNDP, 2013).

Creating democratic citizens: what people understand from democracy and how this understanding influences their political participation Bülbül, Asya; Çınar, Süleyman Kürşat; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2020) The aim of this thesis is to examine the influence of different conceptualizations of democracy by ordinary citizens on their political participation. In this thesis, it is argued that an important variable has been neglected in the political participation literature, namely, the conceptual definitions people offer when they are asked to define what democracy is. To test this hypothesis, the definitions of democracy by people are divided into three categories: redistributive understanding, authoritative und...
Democracy in the discourse of Justice and Development Party Güneş, Aysun; Yıldırım, Erdoğan; Department of Sociology (2014) The aim of this thesis is to understand the democracy in the discourse of Justice and Development Party (JDP). This is done by examining the discourse of democracy within the frame of JDP‟s conservative democratic identity. JDP makes a separation as old and the new Turkey and claims that JDP government represents the new Turkey. Therefore, this thesis tries to explain which elements the discourse of democracy includes and excludes on the basis of the separation between old and the new Turkey.

Democracy to become reality: Participatory planning through action research Ataov, Anh (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01) Different approaches in participatory planning stem from argumentation that stresses a certain model of democracy. While each model promotes participatory conditions, they do not always become reality. The needs of today's communities and the complex political system require a different approach for participatory planning to operate in a democratic way. This paper argues that five conditions are salient and illustrates the empirical consequences of this position by using the experiences of participatory mov...
