The American philosopher and educator John Dewey (1859-1952) believed that democracy is rooted in everyday coexistence. This concrete practice of community is a stronger foundation for democratic thinking than theoretical superstructures.
One of his principles is: apply democracy in all areas of life. In order to put this idea of democracy into practice, education – which empowers people in discussions and against populist temptations – is an important prerequisite.

An important pillar of education is reading and comprehension: reading skills enable you to quickly grasp and evaluate information as well as understand long, difficult texts.
