ABSTRACT In this article, I will explore and discuss the Danish school systems as contexts for democracy and togetherness. The article assumes that democracy presupposes togetherness, but also that togetherness is an ambiguous concept that favours certain forms of social cohesion and excludes others. I suggest that the Danish school, with its strong tradition of citizenship education, is able to identify and characterize important challenges related to citizenship education and togetherness as motivators for democracy. The thesis of this article is that the Danish educational system is based on, and promotes, a strong, ‘educationalized’ version of democratic togetherness. This article is based on descriptive statistical analysis of two quantitative studies covering the period from 2009 to 2015: 1) The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2009, and 2) The National Student Well-being Surveys (2015) that focus on the national level, and provide more details regarding the views of Danish students.
