O e all, his chap e seeks o answe he ques ion: How do commu-

2Cul u al Ci izenship and Folk Pedagogies
In his sec ion, we discuss ou concep ual app oach o examining lea ning
o wha is pe cei ed as good ci izenship. Ou main s a ing poin is
o de ine ci izenship as a con ex ual phenomenon ha en ails an idea
o con inuous lea ning aking place in di e se ways. We d aw on he
no ion o cul u al ci izenship sugges ed by Ge a d Delan y (2003)and
he cul u al app oach o lea ning p oposed by Je ome B une (1996). In
bo h, cul u e is unde s ood as con inuous meaning-making, whe e ideas
a e cons uc ed in in e ac ion wi h o he s by using and ans o ming he
a ailable cul u al esou ces. These no ions guide ou examina ion o local
ideas o ci izenship and lea ning p ocesses in he pa icula con ex o he
u al communi ies unde s udy.
The no ion o cul u al ci izenship (Delan y 2003; S e enson, 2012)
app oaches ci izenship om he poin o iew o socio-cul u al iden i y.
Delan y (2003) di e en ia es he no ion o cul u al ci izenship om wha
he calls disciplina y ci izenship, which encompasses o mal membe ship
in a poli y, usually a s a e. Acco ding o him, cul u al ci izenship di e s
om bo h libe al and communi a ian ideas; a he , he sugges s a cul u al
a ena o ci izenship whe e indi idual and social lea ning in e wine, and
whe e belie s, alues and cul u e a e p ese ed and shaped. Mo eo e ,

cul u al ci izenship is highly con ex ual and is shaped in spon aneous ways
h ough coping wi h li es yles and su i al.
Fo Delan y (2003: 602), cul u al ci izenship ‘is a lea ning p ocess’
whe ein common expe ience, cogni i e p ocess, cul u al ansla ion and
empowe men gain mo e salience han ci izenship as o mal membe ship
and he consequen lea ning o igh s and esponsibili ies accompanying
i . He ca ego izes ci izenship lea ning using h ee in e wined le els:
indi idual biog aphy, he cul u al le el and he social le el (ibid.: 601).
Fo he indi idual, ci izenship is lea ned h ough hei li e his o y, bo h
h ough in e pe sonal in e ac ion and inc easing sel -knowledge. Cul u al

lea ning embodies cul u al le el lea ning in an ins i u ional o m, enabling
social change o occu . In cul u al ci izenship, hese lea ning le els in e -
wine in a p ocess ha Delan y (ibid.) e e s o as he cons uc ion o
ci izenship. He e, ci izenship is unde s ood as con inuously e ol ing and,
hus, also ha ing he po en ial o ans o m.
D awing on Delan y’s no ion o cul u al ci izenship, we sc u inize
ci izenship as a lea ning p ocess aking place in he space be ween he
indi idual and communi ies. Ou s a ing poin is ha u al communi-
ies in Uganda p esen a con ex o cons uc ing ci izenship h ough
in o mal lea ning ha occu s in he cou se o pa icipa ion and in e ac ing
wi h o he s. Addi ionally, he cons uc ion o ci izenship aking place in

hose a icula ed in he ocabula ies used when ci izenship is discussed,
and he belie s and alues ha guide ideas o wha is ega ded as good

Depa ing om he no ion o cul u al ci izenship as a lea ning p ocess
in which ci izenship is cons uc ed and ans o med, we aim o examine
how he idea o lea ning i sel is unde s ood by communi y membe s.
Whils he e a e plen y o di e se heo e ical accoun s o indi idual (Kolb,

B une mainly discusses olk pedagogies in he eache -lea ne ela ion-

Acco ding o B une (1996: 63), people o en hold bo h ex e nalis

ou models o lea ne s’ minds which can guide eaching and also illus-

models pe cei e lea ne s as imi a o s, as subjec o didac ic exposu e, as

lea ning is mainly seen as ollowing he models p o ided by eache s

The o e all aim o his chap e was o in es iga e he meanings o ci izen-

was inspi ed by, on he one hand, Delan y’s (2003) idea o ci izenship as a

In communi y membe s’ desc ip ions, good ci izenship e ol ed
