How to Become a Good Citizen at School - Some Critical Remarks on Civic Education Policies, Standards and Programs

Summary/Abstract: The process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and competencies for full inclusion and active civic participation in the social, cultural, public, and economic life of a country should be a constant priority for all institutions, non-governmental organizations, professional associations, informal groups, and citizens. It is apparent that in order to be an autonomous and active citizen, it is not simply a matter of reaching adulthood or paying taxes. It is a process of adopting and sharing values, of awareness and a sense of belonging, of forming an attitude towards the world, and of cultural and national identity.

Civic education that doesn't consistently involve and engage children and young people is just a collection of well-intentioned ideas.
