Themes
This year′s conference has a particular emphasis on Universities and Colleges and the development of identities, as related to citizenship education. We welcome papers on this, and on teaching of citizenship-related issues in the areas of social, political, economic, history/geographic, cultural/arts and environmental education. There will be papers, workshops, plenary addresses and round-table discussions.
The second Annual Meeting of the Children′s Identity and Citizenship European Association will follow the conference on Saturday 31st May.
