The book aims to highlight the distinct challenges and opportunities
that character education faces across several European countries, including
Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Slovakia,
and Spain. By examining character education landscapes in these diverse
contexts, this work provides insights into specific hurdles and potential
avenues for advancement in promoting character development and positive impact
across the region and beyond. Through a detailed analysis of country reports,
practices, and research findings, the book sheds light on varying approaches to
character education. It emphasizes the need for tailored strategies that
resonate with each country"s cultural, social, and educational landscapes.
These approaches, including traditional, liberal, psychological, and
neo-Aristotelian, share a common goal of fostering strong character
dispositions but diverge in their philosophical foundations, pedagogical
methods, and political assumptions. While European character education grapples
with significant challenges, its multifaceted approaches —particularly the
neo-Aristotelian— offer robust strategies for developing character
dispositions. By overcoming these challenges and harnessing the highlighted
opportunities, character education in Europe has the potential to effectively
address contemporary educational and societal needs and contribute to more
flourishing school environments.
