This timely book helped me grasp the all-embracing view of what the Council of Europe has strived to achieve – guaranteeing quality education for all to produce plurilingual, intercultural and democratic citizens. Many Asian teachers, including myself, share similar concerns and aims, though with some contextual limitations. Now I feel further encouraged to integrate democratic citizenship education into our curriculum.
