Active European citizenship is one of the most
important attributes of European integration and
inclusion, but is also one of the most diffi cult
subjects to teach. The TEACH project provides
a training programme to help adult educators
overcome exactly this problem.
Active citizenship is considered to be one of the most vital
factors for European development and there is a strong
demand for ways to teach and provide training in this fi eld.
The project Teaching European Active Citizenship (TEACH)
has developed just such a training programme for adult
education professionals.
The main objectives of the programme are to further train
people teaching active citizenship in non-formal adult
education, and to provide participants with an analysis of
skills related to active citizenship. Participants will also
learn invaluable tools to teach these skills and come to
understand best-practice examples of active citizenship
throughout Europe.
The training materials are a combination of lectures, workshops,
discussion panels and case studies. The courses,
over fi ve days, are in the format of face-to-face training,
and also include a preparatory phase during which participants
receive study materials and access to an interactive
web platform. The programme is divided into diff erent
modules and the materials are succinct and appropriate to
the subject.
After the course, the web platform remains available for
follow-up discussions and for continued use by course
lecturers. The TEACH project gives Europe a practical
and tangible approach to provide training in the diffi cult,
but nevertheless extremely important subject of active
European citizenship. This will have a direct impact on
mobility throughout Europe because it is necessary for
citizens to have a deep knowledge of their rights and
responsibilities if they are to develop them.
