The data were obtained in a mixed-design research study containing pre\/post experimental\/control groups (N = 114), eight focus groups with selected students (N = 56), and group interviews with teachers (N = 14). The mean age of the students was 13.8 years. The study focuses on the students\u2019 and the teachers\u2019 perception of the process, the program\u2019s barriers and benefits, and on the impact of the program on the students\u2019 self-efficacy and on perceived democratic school culture. The analysis revealed that while the participants felt empowered because of their experience, they started to perceive their school environment as less democratic than before the program. The program also likely influenced girls more than boys as the latter seem to have been unaffected. Finally, the implications of the findings for the practice are discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div style=\"margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px;\" class=\"divider divider-normal\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Please find attached <a href=\"https:\/\/kykpee.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sustainability-11-006632.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>here\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>the related article\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petra Simonova 1, Jan Cincera 1,* , Roman Kroufek 2 , Sarka Krepelkova 1 and Andreas Hadjichambis 3 Abstract This study analyses the Active Citizens program conducted in seven Czech elementary schools in 2017\/2018.
