The seminar

The EU-CoE youth partnership organises on 3 and 4 May 2018, at the European Youth Centre, in Strasbourg, France, a seminar to explore concepts, approaches and programmes related to citizenship education with young people, and, therein, the role of youth work and the role of the theme of Europe and European Citizenship. The seminar will offer a space for sharing updates, initiatives, concerns, ideas, approaches and contents on how citizenship education with young people can be strengthened, especially in its European dimension.

The objectives are:

• Reflect on the concepts, approaches and challenges of citizenship education with young people, particularly in relation to youth work and to the European dimension
• Learn from different practices, tools and initiatives that support citizenship education with young people
• Identify further needs for reinforcing this field, including in regards to the work of the EUCoE youth partnership
• Offer a space for networking and sharing of information among different entities.

The seminar will tackle such questions as:

• How do citizens shape Europe? What support is offered for citizens to do so? How to develop young people’s citizenship with a European dimension?
• What is the role of the youth sector in supporting development of young people’s European Citizenship, and particularly of youth work?
• What new forms of European Citizenship do we see emerging today? What kinds of citizenship do European or international programmes support?
• What further tools and knowledge are needed for the youth field in order to respond to contemporary realities and challenges of citizenship with a European dimension?

The expected results of the seminar are as follows:

• Raising the understanding of the role of citizenship education with young people in Europe today, particularly in the youth work settings
