Abstract
Despite chaotic events experienced in our region during 2012, we still cling to the hope of creating a world in which peace and democracy dominate, human rights and freedoms are experienced, and welfare is shared fairly. As the social studies educators gathered under the roof of SBEB/ASSE:Assocation for Social Studies Educators, we believe that we have a strategic role about this issue. It is the requirement of both scientists and educators to adopt this role. As SBEB/ASSE which acts with this awareness, we have planned to take sound steps to improve social/political participation through generating and sharing information being a civil trade body: (i) make scientific and popular publications, (ii) arrange national and internationalsymposiums/congresses and workshops. Towards the end of 2012 what makes us happy was that we could considerably actualized two of our predetermined goals.
