Raising Political Awareness: The Role of Extracurricular Civic Education

Raising Political Awareness: The Role of Extracurricular Civic Education with Nejra Dedić-Demirović

Non-formal Political Education refers to educational processes and activities that take place outside of regular school instruction, aiming to raise individuals' political awareness and political maturity. It is generally directed at various age groups and target audiences and is offered by different actors such as political foundations, associations, youth organisations, media, or even state institutions.

The goal of non-formal political education is to empower people to actively and thoughtfully participate in political processes, to form well-founded awareness on political issues, and to understand and shape democracy. It not only promotes knowledge about political structures but also fosters the development of critical thinking, tolerance, and respectful dialogue between different communities.

In this episode, I will be joined by Nejra Dedic-Demirovié to discuss her work in non-formal political education in various settings and its importance in the current political climate in Germany.


Nejra Dedić-Demirović ist in Bosnien und Herzegowina geboren und lebt heute im Ruhrgebiet. Sie arbeitet als Politische Bildnerin und lehrt an der Universität Duisburg-Essen sowie FH Dortmund.
