Abstract
I will start out my paper by presenting the CIVICS model, a transcurricular approach aiming at the development of student’s citizenship competence in schools. The model is based on the assumption that in order to develop into active citizens students need to be able to actively experience and to reflect upon democratic action in schools. The model rests on two pillars: „democratic forms of communication in the school“ on the one hand and „students taking over responsibility in their school and community“ on the other hand. These modular settings are supposed to enable students to develop democratic competence by means of action and reflection beginning in primary education up to the completion of secondary education.
