!! Newly updated information about the OPEN WEBINARS is below !!

Join this online course to challenge your notions of Europe and citizenship, gain new insights and explore ways to address these topics with young people. The course offers animated videos, interactive inputs, practical tasks and inspiring webinars. 

The aim of the online course “Europe and young people: How citizenship in Europe works?” is to increase youth work practitioners’ understanding on the topics of Europe and citizenship and to explore concrete approaches and methods to address them with young people in local and international youth work in Europe.

The course will provide you with space and opportunities to:

• explore and challenge your notions of Europe and citizenship and provide you with new insights;
• become more aware of the civic, political and social issues that are important for young people across Europe;
• find and make connections between local youth work practice and transnational youth work in Europe;
• discover possibilities for transnational cooperation aimed at supporting young people’s active citizenship in Europe.

You will learn on the Canvas online learning platform. 

The course is structured in six modules, which will be opened gradually over six weeks (see the schedule below). In addition to the modules in Canvas, there will be two meetups and four webinars that will also include guest speakers, providing additional reflections on the topics.
