The Development of Positive Values Through a Democratic Approach to Learning
‘We’re citizens now’!: the development of positive values through a democratic approach to learning. Henry Maitles University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland Isabel Gilchrist Stonelaw High School, Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland Introduction: education for citizenship Education for citizenship is intrinsically bound up with democracy. In particular, the feeling that young people are citizens now (as opposed to in the future) and that democracy has to be fostered from a young age are central issues in the formal proposals put to governments in Britain by both the Advisory Group (1998) in England and the Review Group (2002) in Scotland. There is a near moral panic in Britain (indeed in most representative democracies around the world) that young people are apathetic, alienated and disinterested in politics. In Britain, there is the example of the recent European Union election in 1999 in which, as a whole, turnout was barely above 20%, in some areas just in double figures and amongst the 18-24 year olds much lower than for the population as a whole. And, indeed, for those who felt that whatever happened in this ‘less important’ election, the General Election would hold up, June 7th. 2001 showed that this was over optimistic; turnout was under 60%, the lowest since 1918. Put bluntly, more people voted for the winner of ‘Big Brother’ on Channel 4 than voted in the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and London Mayoral elections combined in 1999. Even more worryingly, the Scottish Parliament, described as having the raison d’etre of bringing interest in politics and participation closer to the people and, consequently providing a forum that would reverse the trend in terms of voting participation, achieved a sub 50% turnout in May 2003.

Overtoun Covered Courts and Our New Viewpark Clubhouse As Part of Our Big Centenary Celebrations in 2022
Our proposal to build covered tennis courts in Overtoun Park creating a vibrant community hub Issue 2.0 16th November 2020 www.RutherglenLTC.com/Project100 #RLTCProject100 CONTACT DETAILS 1 This document has been prepared by: The members of Rutherglen Lawn Tennis Club 21-23 Viewpark Drive Viewpark Drive Burnside Glasgow G73 3QE www.RutherglenLTC.com Contact: Gareth Ellor Club President Tel: 07852 773451 e-mail: [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We passionately believe that tennis should be accessible to everyone. We also recognise, through bitter experience, that the Scottish climate inhibits the growth and development of our sport. Despite our 7 existing courts off Viewpark Drive and Burnside Road being floodlit and “all-weather”, we still lose at least 4 weeks every year due to rain, frost and snow. Moreover, we believe a huge amount of people in the local community would love to take up the game, but are not keen to play outdoors over winter and the lack of year-round consistency discourages them from joining our club. Also, there is great ambition within our club to expand our highly successful community outreach programmes, a big appetite within schools, youth/community groups etc. to play more tennis, and funding available to support this. However, we are very much at the mercy of the Scottish weather as to how much we can do. Covered courts would allow us to deliver this on a sustained, year-round basis providing an environment and 2 conditions that everyone can enjoy. Furthermore, without covered courts, we are not able to provide the reliable, quality training environment to allow our best juniors to meet their full potential, meaning that they have to travel or move away from the Rutherglen area to access the indoor facilities they need to become elite tennis plyers.
