Guide for aesthetic and embodied learning for democracy in the field of adult, professional and organisational learning

Guide for aesthetic and embodied learning for democracy in the field of adult, professional and organisational learning

Abstract

This Guide presents a conceptual and pedagogical framework for embedding Aesthetic and Embodied Learning for Democracy (AELD) within adult, professional and organisational learning (APOL) contexts. Grounded in the AECED project’s understanding of democracy-as-becoming, it reframes democratic learning as an ongoing relational and ethical process unfolding through facilitation, organisational cultures, and professional interactions. The Guide elaborates democratic values (freedom, equality/equity, responsiveness), democratic principles (power-sharing, transforming dialogue, holistic learning, relational well-being), and the dimensions of commoning (social togetherness, political self-governance, care economy), while foregrounding responsive pedagogy and the acceptive gaze. Designed for facilitators, consultants, trainers and organisational change-makers, it supports the cultivation of democratic sensibility through reflective, aesthetic and embodied approaches that attend to power, consent, relational well-being and ethical judgement in complex institutional settings.
