<< Background >>The process of European integration has been based on key values such as peace, democracy, freedom and tolerance. However, these values are currently challenged. The covid19 pandemic has increased already existing tendencies related with disinformation (mainly coming from the social media) and lack of trust in democratic processes. The role of education and training, and more specifically citizenship education is very important in addressing these challenges. However, as the Eurydice Report “Citizenship Education at School in Europe 2017” shows citizenship education is addressed mainly on a cognitive level as part of the curriculum both in relation with the teaching and in relation with the assessment (knowledge of the institutions of the political system, environmental awareness, analysis of issues discussed in the society etc).<< Objectives >>The project aims to:- Increase the capacity of secondary school teachers to use art methods in the framework of an integrated approach to teach citizenship education- Increase the interest from the secondary students on citizenship skills and art- Increase the interest and involvement in citizenship skills from students with language and learning difficulties as well as from students belonging to vulnerable target groups.- Increase the networking and peer-learning between secondary school teachers in issues related with citizenship skills<< Implementation >>- Development of a methodology- Organisation of face to face and online training of teachers in local and European level- Practical implementation of the approach in the school and Impact Assessment<< Results >>- Methodology for the implementation of art in the framework of an integrated approach related with teaching citizenship skills in the secondary school. The methodology will be the result of the cooperation between art organisations, educational organisations experts in citizenship skills and school teachers and will include methods for the implementation of theatre techniques, examples of theatre scenarios for the citizenship skills, subjects, best practices already implemented etc.- Online teacher trainings. An online training in the partner countries as well as in European level in order to train secondary school teachers in the method. It is expected that at least 250 teachers are going to improve their skills and competencies through these trainings.- Implementation in the classroom. After the end of the training, and as a pre-condition in order to receive the certificate of attendance of the seminar, each trained teacher should implement the method to a school classroom comprised of at least 15 students. This means that at least 3.750 students are going to benefit from the implementation of the method.
