The focus of this year's European Conference of the Networking European Citizenship Education (NECE | www.nece.eu) ) is the impact of citizenship and cultural education on social cohesion. Against the background of the most serious financial crises within this century and the progress of the Lisbon Strategy, the European Union will put special efforts to combat poverty and social exclusion in 2010. With the aim to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economic area in the world, curricular and extracurricular education are acknowledged as the fundamental milestones along the roadmap.

 

Bringing experts and multipliers together, the conference will search for and deploy creative impulses for a pan-European citizenship education and will work to strengthen its impact on social processes within the diverse landscape of social and civil organizations in Europe.

 

In this context a Call for Projects is launched looking for your outstanding and innovative examples for working models, concepts and projects as well as new didactic materials for teaching citizenship and cultural education for the purpose of strengthening social cohesion.
