The Active Citizenship Foundation, Hungary in
partnership with the DARE Network organized an international
conference on active citizenship education. The conference aimed to provide
a forum for an European overview and assessment of the current knowledge
base and policy directions and to stimulate professional discussion in the
field of active citizenship.
Since active citizenship is among the priorities for the upcoming
Hungarian EU presidency, the conference also aimed to provide impetus and
formulate policy recommendations for the presidency, in order to clear the
ground for implementation of its priorities.
Speakers of the conference looked at the evidence base – research
results – on active citizenship attitudes in Europe. The findings of the
recently finished International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS)
was presented by David Kerr, ICCS Associate Research Director:
