In a time when democracy is constantly being challenged, the need for (young) people to acquire an understanding of democratic values and processes is more pressing than ever. In arguing in favour of Bildung, or edification, that demands that individuals take their share of responsibility for the common good, Bjørn Hansen throws down a challenge to the folk high school, and the four narratives present democratic edification and its dilemmas as they are found in folk high school practice today.

I en tid, hvor demokratiet til stadighed bliver udfordret, er behovet for, at unge mennesker får forståelse for demokratiske værdier og processer blevet tydeligt. Bjørn Hansen udfordringer højskolen og argumenterer til fordel for en dannelse, der kræver at den enkelte tager sin del af ansvaret for det fælles bedste, og fire fortællinger viser den demokratisk dannelse og dens dilemmaer i højskolens praksis.
