*Pahoittelen ristiinpostitusta ja aikaisemman viestin toisen ilmoittautumislinkin
toimimattomuutta!*
Jos olet kiinnostunut kansalaisyhteiskunnasta, kansalaisuudesta tai oppimisesta, tai
erityisesti Tansaniasta tai Ugandasta, tervetuloa keskustelemaan GROW-tutkimushankkeen
tuloksista. Miten ja millaista kansalaisuutta opitaan arkipäivän kansalaistoiminnassa?
Miten tätä voitaisiin tukea? Entä miten tapoja voi käsitteellistää? Hankkeen
tansanialaiset ja ugandalaiset tutkijat kertovat mielellään myös yleisemmin maiden
kansalaisyhteiskunnasta.
Tervetuloa! Muistathan ilmoittautua. Register

If you are interested in civil society, citizenship and learning, or especially in
Tanzania or Uganda, you are warmly welcome to discuss the results of GROW-research
project. What kind of citizenship is learned in everyday organizing and how? How this
learning could be supported? How habits of citizenship could be conceptualized? The
project researchers from Uganda and Tanzania will be happy to share the recent
developments of civil society in their countries also in more general!
