Active Citizenship Education for a Better Tomorrow

This book offers a valuable reflection on citizenship education in Europe and illustrates how historical events, national contexts, and European policies shape the way citizenship is taught in schools. Countries are no longer solely focused on national values; they emphasize international democratic values and expect citizens to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to become active and critical members of society. The chapters provide a synthesis of how citizenship education is organized within specific national contexts of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
