The panel discussion under this name with experts from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova will take place on the first day of the Citizenship Education Forum.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has further exacerbated discussions about what citizenship education providers should be doing in the first place.

The panellists will look for answers to the following questions:

1. What about citizenship education in the Eastern Partnership region of the European Union? Did it cope with its main tasks?
2. What “failures” in citizenship education make war possible?
3. What is the place of patriotic education in the system of citizenship education?
4. What can citizenship education educators do during the war?
5. What should citizenship education educators do to stop the war and prevent it in the future?

Will share their views:

When? October, 21, 12-13.30

Panel discussin will be in Russian.

EENCE Forum “Rethinking Citizenship Education” is organised by the The Eastern European Association for Citizenship Education and The Association of Children and Youth “Mostenitorii” (Moldova) with the support of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) at the expense of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The EENCE network was established in 2016. The network brings together more than 100 organizations and experts in promoting citizenship education and democracy in the Eastern Partnership countries and Russia.

Within the framework of the Network, about ten thematic groups work annually and implement their projects related to various aspects of civic education.

The network also hosted the Citizenship Education Summit (2019), and Citizenship Education Weeks (2020, 2021).
