E-Citizenship

I would like to hear what you think of this idea of setting up E-Citizenship as part of a new European curriculum? Would you like to become one of the teachers / co-editors of this new European webbased subject? What are your ideas on content?

Created on a European level by pupils and their teachers from all European countries, using high-tech means of international communication.

What will be the outline of the new course?
What will be the contents of the new course?
What will be the new European Curriculum for Citizenship?

A multi-language, cross-curricular course on active citizenship and cultural diversity in different communities in Europe.

Subjects involved: Modern Foreign Languages, ICT, Geography, History, Economy, Social and Religious Studies: cross-curricular.

Setting up the European Day of Languages and European Springday in the currriculum

Anton Sotirov - a teacher from Bulgaria congretulates the initiative and would like to become one of the teachers and co-editors of this subject. If possible to pay attention to informal education and education during whole life. European educational legislation and experience is interesting for me. If possible I would like with the help of the project to make suggestions for changing of the ongoing Bulgarian legislation. Regards, Anton.

What are the key elements of the reform in the Bulgarian educational legislation? We are changing secondary education in The Netherlands too, the discussion right now is about Content and Language Integrated Learning, which means subjects like history, geography and biology taught in English, in our country. This leading up to a European Baccalaureat. So how about Bulgaria? Marleen.

In my opinion Education for e-Citizenship is based on the fundamental principles of human rights, pluralist democracy, rules and law.

In Italy we have a subject called "Civic Education" that I teach as teacher of History.

This subject aims to prepare young people and adults for active participation in democratic society : e-Citizenship could use Internet for this!

So e-Citizenship is instrumental in the fight against violence , xenophobia, racismo, aggressive nationalism and intolerance; e-Citizenship, in our project "Made in Europe", contributes to european cohesion , social justice and the common good , intercultural education.

These words will be early also on the Blog of my students , "QuartaCsisBrocca", on the site www.E-didablog.it , about our project.

Bye
