Active Citizen Compass

<< Objectives >>The aim of this project is to promote Active Citizenship (AC) in secondary schools and prepare students to be active citizens in Europe. To achieve this goal, the consortium will work on raising students’ and teachers’ awareness on AC in Education (ACE), create an Active Citizenship Compass (ACC), design and implement learning activities on AC, and develop Active Citizenship school policies as an excellent practice for secondary schools.<< Implementation >>The activities that will contribute to achieve the objectives of the project are as follows: the investigation of the current situation on ACE in partner countries, the creation of ACC - a digital tool that will assess students’ skills and knowledge level on AC -, teachers’ training on how to design and implement learning activities and tools on AC and their students’ training accordingly. Finally, partners will develop and follow-up the school policies on AC.<< Results >>It is expected that after the implementation of the project, the students will have developed competences and attitudes in terms of becoming active citizens in Europe. Teachers and HEIs staff will be aware of the concept of AC, having skills required to train and guide their students on Active Citizenship, both now and in the future. Finally, schools will be able to adapt a dynamic policy on Active Citizenship that will be revised and evaluated on a regular basis.
