The project “The school as a democratic learning environment: pro-moting civic and citizenship education through the whole-school ap-proach in the first cycle of education”, financed under the PRIN 2022 projects – Next Generation EU, is built upon the studies conducted on democratic learning environments for civic and citizenship education and aims at its promotion through a whole-school approach. This article presents the first results of the analysis of the school contexts, conduct-ed through the methodology of the multi-perspective case study. In par-ticular, it is focused on analyzing the semi-structured interviews con-ducted with the school principals of the six schools involved in the pro-ject. The interviews tackled topics such as the school characteristics, the curriculum for civic and citizenship education, democratic learning en-vironments at school, and the professional development of teachers. The analysis highlighted that democratic learning environments are still an unexplored area in the participating schools, where activities with external groups and organizations are the most common form of initia-tive. In the second phase of the project, in-service training will be imple-mented with the teachers of the selected schools to promote teaching and learning activities aimed at developing students’ citizenship compe-tence and democratic learning environments to experience citizenship in the classroom, at school and beyond the school walls.
