Abstract
In this chapter we first deconstruct current notions of citizenship education and explore how it is regarded and delivered in various educational settings. We then go on to deconstruct contemporary UK ideas about the ‘Big Society’ and cultural education. From this position we then construct our own alternative pedagogy for the delivery of effective citizenship education within any cultural setting, thereby creating a new meaning for the term ‘cultural education’.
