Supporting citizenship education through eTwinning

Through citizenship education, teachers hold a powerful role in preparing young people to become thoughtful, engaged citizens who contribute meaningfully to their communities and the wider world. While other factors such as parents and societal and cultural influences are crucial, schools are often where civic attitudes and behaviours are formed, providing pupils with the knowledge, skills and values they need to actively participate in political, social and civic life. In this context, the eTwinning community offers teachers a gateway to enrich citizenship education through cross-border collaboration. This publication showcases 24 innovative examples of successful eTwinning projects and provides practical activities to help you integrate citizenship education into your teaching. It is an invitation to inspire and be inspired – demonstrating how, together, we can nurture the next generation of active, responsible citizens.
