Time: 9 February 2-5pm CET
Location: Zoom

Are you eager to get a deeper insight on what civic and citizenship education is all about? Do you want to learn more on a theoretical level and get some practice at the same time?

Join this learning lab to explore how to differentiate between civic and citizenship education and develop a common understanding of these concepts. You will have the space to reflect with peers on learnings, and share some good practices as well as tools and methods that will help you work intentionally and with clear ideas and objectives on your current or future projects in the field. The learning lab will allow you to discover the competencies needed and how to ensure that you and your team can develop them and transfer them to your target groups.

The workshop covers:
● the definition of civic education and citizenship education
● a practical part including common reflection
● an understanding on which values, skills, knowledge and attitude are needed to cover the topic in different ways and with different target groups
● space for peer exchange among participants

You will experience:
● an interactive online session delivered by experienced facilitators
● a good balance between input and practice
● room for your questions and peer exchange

The workshop is for you if:
● you are planning or implementing projects in the field of civic and citizenship education
● understand what you might want to focus on when working with your target groups on the topic
● you want to connect to other project managers and practitioners to exchange and learn from each other

This learning lab is implemented in collaboration with the Civic Europe program and co-funded by the Stiftung Mercator.
