The importance of active citizenship for young adults in education and training
The principal aim of this project is:
a) To investigate how young adults learn to become active citizens.
b) To identify the role of education and training in this, and the potential role of lifelong learning, especially its less
formal modes (informal and non-formal learning).
The main objective is to do a comparative analysis for identifying the impact of non-formal and informal education and
training on the development of active citizenship amongst young adults. The learning partnership will focus, in relation
to active citizenship, on the following issues: concepts in different countries (links between informal/non-formal
learning and different concepts in respect to skills that build active citizenship); lifelong learning objectives (links
between learning for active citizenship, prevention of failure and school drop-out, social cohesion, and employability);
demand (motivation and benefits of learning skills for active citizenship, ways of advocating for active citizenship
skills); etc.
The knowledge, skills and understanding residing from this learning partnership identifies aspects of citizenship in
which the young adults can make progress: how to become informed citizens; how to develop skills of inquiry and
communication; how to develop skills of participation and responsible action. The Learning Partnership AcCyEd wants
to create a basis for continuing European cooperation projects, which will contribute to the improvement of civic
activism and youth involvement in the community problems.
