Abstract
Abstract Using the example of a 2012-2014 research project about pastoral work in public schools, the essay aims to demonstrate how ecclesial acts outside of Religious Education in the context of public schools can contribute to civil society as a place of “everyday democracy” - both at the micro level of individuals, of students and teachers, and at the meso level of schools as organizations. This is based on the premise of an understanding of civil society which is located between the private sphere of individuals on one side and the state/political level on the other side. At a normative level, this definition understands prosocial orientations (solidarity, community spirit, etc.) as a place of everyday democracy and focuses on the representation of common interests. The churches - as intermediary organizations - also are a central part of this civil society.
