The objectives of the subject
An underpinning of a democratic society is that its inhabitants endorse fundamental democratic values and
that they actively participate in societal life. Each new generation must therefore learn how to keep
democracy alive, and learn to participate in society in a number of ways. The subject of pupil council work
shall develop pupils' understanding of democracy and their ability to participate in a democracy on their
way to active citizenship.
The education in the subject of student council work comprises all pupils. Through activities in pupil
groups and participation in influence and decision-making processes, including work in the pupil council,
the subject shall contribute towards developing the ability of pupils to express independent opinions and
their ability and willingness to cooperate. The subject shall thus promote the development of an inclusive
learning environment that is devoid of bullying and where pupils feel secure, confident and included.
[…?]ople, a place where they can experience empowerment. Participation in the pupil council and other
cooperative bodies in school shall help satisfy this goal. The education in pupil council work shall therefore
contribute to independence, empathy and participation while also encouraging reflection and a critic
School shall be an important democratic arena for children and young pe al perspective.
Main subject areas
The subject has been structured into two main subject areas –
1)Independence and cooperation and 2) Empowerment - with competence aims. These main subject
areas supplement each other and must be considered together.
