Teaching outside school is considered "continued education". Actually, the best way to tech democracy is to watch it in practice, or watch another country practicing it.
A growing number of teachers, administrators, and even entire schools are taking steps to make the teaching and learning process a more democratic experience for everyone, especially students. Instead of simply teaching democracy as part of the curriculum, some schools are "doing democracy." Democratic classrooms stand in contrast to more traditional, authoritarian teaching and learning practices.

Dear Jean-Paul Gagnon, to teach democracy outside school, you have to take your students to participate in different democratic activities of ideal political parties, visit election booths where people are exercising their voting rights in a fair election and join different mock parliamentary sessions organized by different agencies.
They should be given opportunities for viewing documentary film shows of different countries where democracy has taken firm roots.
