- This article explores the phenomenon of entrepreneurship through a pedagogical and didactical lens, as well as its social dimension, focusing on the cases of Sweden and Greece. The selection of these countries is based on their representation of two different regions of the European Union, and the successful integration of Junior Achievement (JA) programs within their respective educational systems. The study argues that intentional pedagogical actions, aligned with curricular goals and instructional models, can foster an entrepreneurial mindset as a state of mind and readiness for action. The historical foundations of entrepreneurship education are outlined and various policy discourses analyzed at international and national levels, investigating how these are reflected in secondary-level curricula within the Greek and Swedish contexts. Central to the study is an exploration of the competencies that entrepreneurship education aims to develop, the underlying assumptions, and the intended purposes. Analyzing school curricula in Greece and Sweden, the paper examines how pedagogical approaches facilitate the development of entrepreneurial skills. While both countries integrate entrepreneurship into their national curricula, Sweden exhibits a longstanding tradition, while Greece has made recent progress. Teacher training emerges as a significant concern in Greece, with efforts made by the government and organizations like JA Greece to equip educators with the necessary knowledge and pedagogical approaches for effective entrepreneurial education. The paper concludes by acknowledging that this study represents an initial comparative approach and aims to shed light on essential aspects of entrepreneurship education, emphasizing its potential as a valuable tool for young people's skills development and preparation for the professional world.

- Collective progression requires well-functioning social communities withmembers promoting respectful interaction with each other. Communitiessuch as social networks are characterized by sparse or dense communica-tion, weak or strong intimacy, high or low hierarchy among its members.Symmetric communication rests on a foundation of universal values, suchas tolerance, reciprocity, and trust. These values assign importance (orvalue) to relationships. They constitute essential civic virtues for a viablesocial life, and are often used both as means and as ends in education. Afterall, education is emphatically considered to be a solution to all sorts ofproblems. However, the issue at stake is that people have conflicting percep-tions of what a problem is, for whom it is a problem, and what the possiblesolutions should be. How could an educational programme be designed sothat it recognizes the participants’ ability to think for themselves and valuestheir life experiences, as well as empowering them to act in an informedand democratic way in order to improve their life chances and the society they live in? The purpose of this paper is to put forward pedagogical reaso-ning about adult learning, informed by the Swedish tradition of Public AdultEducation (“folkbildning”). One of the characteristics of Swedish PopularEducation is the “study circle”, a learning method for self-directed andparticipation-based learning. Study circles, as well as other educative activi-ties, are organised by autonomous state-funded Study Associations and areopen to all adults. Another attribute of Swedish popular education is thestrong bonds between the Study Associations and civil society organisationsconcerning organisational and membership education. The pedagogicalunderpinnings of study circle participation as a means for emancipatorycollective learning and creation of social capital will be elucidated andreflected upon. Additionally, an attempt will be made to investigate thechallenging question of whether the experience of Swedishfolkbildningcanbe a model for non-formal adult learning and community transformation inother countries

- During the last refugee wave in the mid-2010s, Sweden received a high proportion of refugees compared to other countries. In connection with this, the debate about the country’s ability to manage the integration of immigrants intensified. The dominant discourse, which also had political repercussions, was that integration has failed. This chapter reflects on immigrants and ‘Swedishness’ in relation to integration, ethnicity and equality. Swedish Popular Adult education, ‘folkbildning’, will be used as an example of a democratic educational environment for collective learning, and as an instrument for successful democratization of the society promoting social cohesion and reducing inequality. The chapter examines the role of education for integration and inclusion, and the questions of who is a Swede, how one becomes a Swede.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the round-table discussions on the theme of “University Pedagogy: Thoughts, Proposals, Reflections,” at the 2nd International Experiential Conference on Applied Teaching: “Teaching Trends and Challenges in Contemporary Learning Environments”. In order to achieve the active and experiential engagement of all participants, a process inspired by the Science Café movement has been applied. Participants were invited to send in short comments and questions regarding the issue of University Pedagogy/Teaching and learning in Higher Education. These comments were collected, categorized and discussed immediately after the predetermined speeches, which are presented extensively herein with the following titles: “University Pedagogy: Trends and perspectives in Greece and internationally”, “University Pedagogy in Practice: An Epistemological and Didactical Approach” and “University Pedagogy in Greece: findings of empirical research”. The participants then participated in an open discussion based on the questions they had asked before andalso after the preparedlectures. The review of all the contributions during the discussion, and of the proposals submitted, concludes that University Pedagogy can be a powerful means of enhancing the quality of Greek Higher Education, provided that: a) university institutions invest in the continuous improvement of the teaching skills of their teaching staff, and b) universityprofessors have incentives and the readiness to engage in teaching and learning based on scientific and well-tried methods.

Demokrati på köpet? : Demokratisynen i svenska föreningshandböcker 1949–2010
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Avhandlingen undersöker hur demokrati konstrueras och förmedlas i svenska föreningshandböcker under perioden 1949–2010. Civilsamhället beskrivs ofta som en demokratiskola. Denna uppfattning är emellertid omdiskuterad inom forskningen. I avhandlingen undersöks inte huruvida människor lär sig demokrati genom ett föreningsengagemang, istället riktas strålkastarljuset mot vad föreningshandböcker lär föreningsaktiva om demokrati. Föreningshandböckerna visar sig ge uttryck för ett reflekterande förhållningssätt till demokratibegreppet och demokrati konstrueras implicit mellan raderna. De första tre empiriska kapitlen handlar om demokratidefinitioner, möten samt relationen mellan civilsamhället och den offentliga makten. Följande tre kapitel fokuserar på hur de missgynnade grupperna ungdomar, kvinnor och invandrare beskrivs.Ett viktigt resultat är att den dominerande demokratisynen i materialet är teknisk. Demokrati presenteras som liktydig med majoritetsomröstningar och att följa stadgarna. Detta väcker frågan om personer som har anammat denna demokratisyn har förmågan att försvara demokratin mot rörelser som följer demokratins formella spelregler, men som samtidigt verkar för att underminera den.Ett annat resultat är att medlemmars faktiska delaktighet inte var en prioriterad fråga under de år som undersöktes, även om den fick mer utrymme mot slutet av undersökningsperioden. De flesta handböckerna i materialet är skrivna från ett tydligt majoritetsperspektiv. När missgynnande grupper omnämns alls beskrivs de ofta som avvikande.

Migration and Inclusion in Work Life – The Role of VET
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book is the seventh volume in the book series Emerging Issues in Research on Vocational Education & Training. The series is published by the research group VETYL (Vocational Education & Training/Yrkeskunnande och Lärande), at the Department of Education, Stockholm University, Sweden. VETYL was created in 2011 with twofold aims: contributing to the advance of knowledge in the intricate area of vocational education and training (VET) and strengthening the research basis of the teacher education program for VET that is offered at the Department of Education, Stockholm University. The Swedish term “yrkeskunnande och lärande” in the name of the research group translates as “vocational knowing” and indicates one of the major research concerns of the group.The research book series started primarily as dissemination venue of selected papers, after a peer review process first presented at the international conferences organized yearly since 2012 by our research group VETYL.The conference has had two aims: becoming a forum for sharing state of the art research in the field of VET and serving as a forum for networking and cooperation. The Stockholm International Conference of Research in VET is one of the major academic events organised in Europe as part of the European Network for Vocational Education and Training (VETNET).Even though the primary source for our research book series has for long been the conference's papers, at present the research book series is open to contributions of other scholars in the field regardless of participation in the conference. This is particularly the case in this volume where researchers from different contexts submitted proposals of texts, dealing with different dimensions of the important theme of the role of vocational education and training in inclusion in work life, with specific focus on migrants.The title of this volume Migration and Inclusion in Work Life – The Role of VET is an umbrella for the presentation of research outcomes focusing on a variety of aspects influencing the inclusion in working life and the role that VET plays or could play. The main aim of this volume is to present current research in an area that at the present is getting major attention by policy makers as well as practitioners in Europe and other contexts. Migration and immigrant integration/inclusion has long been a contested issue in national and international politics as well as in research. With migration on the rise globally, integration faces many challenges. Usually, integration is associated with establishment into the labour market. Getting a job or some kind of employment is taken as a strong indicator of successful integration in the new country.VET, along with other measures, is expected to play a key role in the process of integration of immigrants in the economic and7social life of the host country. Successful inclusion becomes beneficial for all involved by reducing disparities, filling local labour market shortages, and improving livelihoods and social cohesion. VET systems and providers in most immigrant-receiving countries are trying to find effective ways to facilitate migrants’ labour market inclusion by means of specially designed training programs.The contributions in this volume show a diversity in theoretical frameworks of reference and methodological grounds, ranging from empirically based texts to policy analysis. Even though some of the texts are case studies or national policy analyses they will surely be of interest to an international audience interested in this theme.This volume continues the tradition of our research book series to depict the diversity and complexity of research in the field of vocational education and training. We hope it will meet the expectations of a variety of readers including under-graduate students, in particular students in initial and in-service teacher training programs for VET, post-graduate students, and policy makers.Finally, we would like to thank the reviewers for valuable criticisms that helped to improve the contributions that are finally presented in this book.
