description In this reflection, we discuss our experience of engaging in collaborative teaching underpinned by principles of democratic pedagogy in a new bachelor degree aimed at leadership for social action.

Here, we share some of the opportunities and challenges that we experienced on our journey of teaching together, including questions regarding our responsibilities to one another as educators, and the complexities of practicing democratic pedagogy.
