Education and training for governance and active citizenship in europe: analysis of adult learning and design of formal, non-formal and informal educational intervention strategies

Cel

This project provides a scientific basis for educational interventions to involve European citizens more actively in shaping their own futures. It analyses how European adults have learned active citizenship, and what factors leads to effective formal, non-formal and informal citizenship education. the premise is that attitudes, skills and behavioural patterns required by citizenship roles are not learned primarily through formal education, but mainly informally - constructed in socio-institutional and cultural processes. An innovative theoretical model incorporates dimensions of agency (affectivity, responsibility, identity), domains (work, state, civil society, private), and modes of intervention (formal, non-formal, informal). Documentary analysis, life history and focus group methods provide comparable data from six European countries on policy and its history, on how active citizenship is learned, and on intervention strategies. Participative methods integrate policy-makers, professionals and other end-users closely in the research. Such strong professional and citizenship network links are central to dissemination of findings.
