NECE - Networking European Citizenship Education
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
Events & DocumentationWith a series of regular conferences and workshops, NECE supports exchange on good practices and scientific discourse in citizenship education, as well as its transfer into the arena of practical application. Annual conferences are dedicated to issues of current interest, such as citizenship education in immigration societies. At these events, different characteristics and interpretations of the topic are analysed and examined by a number of experts from a variety of fields. The transfer from theory into practice is then illustrated by examples of good practice introduced in subsequent interactive modules.
Several times a year at NECE workshops, experts from academia and practice meet to discuss and prepare further events, projects or co-operation. These smaller events help identify prevailing pertinent questions or further topics that would benefit from additional measures. Within the framework of a given workshop, concrete co-operation can also be prepared or carried-out at a European level.

Closing the empowerment gap through citizenship education: How to address educationally disadvantaged groups
New forms of political involvement are to a large extent determined by access to education, income and competencies. Groups and individuals with no access to these resources remain excluded from participation in civil society and political processes. It can be shown empirically that socially disadvantaged groups with poor educational opportunities suffer under a conspicuous 'empowerment gap'. |
