Democracy is the basic form of political and social coexistence in Europe. Even if deficits are repeatedly becoming apparent politically and attempts are repeatedly being made to undermine them in individual states, democracy in Europe is fundamentally very stable. Nevertheless, dangers cannot be overlooked or trivialised and it is clear that democracy is not a matter of course. It became clear to the participants that there is always a struggle to maintain and expand democracy. The transfer of democratic thinking and democratic structures to everyday life at school, work and other regular gatherings of people, on the other hand, is still very little developed. The principle of democratic leadership, taking into account real existing diversity and inclusion, provides tools for implementing these principles in the context of school, work and community life. Transparency and knowledge sharing, recognition of real diversity and inclusion are basic elements of democratic governance, as well as part of the political dimension of the concept of democracy. These elements were the focus of the work in this seminar. Questions were discussed on how to achieve transparency and share knowledge so that knowledge under domination is excluded as far as possible. The opportunities and possibilities of diversity in society and its different elements, as well as the differences between the system-theoretical concept of inclusion and the actor-theoretical concept of integration were examined. This created the conditions for investigating the possibilities and limits of implementing democratic leadership in the everyday life, in the living and working context of the participants using the techniques and methods of aesthetic research. The principle of inclusion as a form of participation for all and the recognition of the real existing diversity as its prerequisite changed the participants' views from orientation towards deficits to orientation towards possibilities and resources. As a prerequisite for this changed perspective, it was also necessary to explore and learn about the mechanisms of exclusion in everyday life in its various facets.
