Practical Wisdom and Democratic Education

Abstract

This chapter draws the arguments of the book together, asking how the participants explored their experiences of education and to what extent did they consider them to be democratic. At the same time were they able to draw upon their practical wisdom in order to act well for themselves and others? And did receiving a democratic education mean that students as well the staff were able to deliberate wisely according to their previous experiences and practical wisdom?

Finally, the chapter proposes some recommendations aimed at those people teaching and managing Access to HE programmes, those people teaching and managing HE art and design programmes and those Access to HE art students who dream of becoming artists or designers.
