| Abstract: | The dream catcher is our toolbox of skills, values and attitudes which helps to lead a better quality of life in a democratic society. Dewey (1916) views democracy as 'more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience' (p. 87). The dream catcher allows us to actualise this experience by catching all the positive values and concepts and destroying all the negative attitudes and skills that hinder us from truly experiencing 'associated living' and 'conjoint communicated experiences: This is our historical narrative of the growth of Personal and Social Development (PSD) in Malta: a chain of events supported by our dream catcher. |
