International work
Since 1989, we have been involved extensively in a number of international projects dealing with citizenship issues in European, Middle Eastern and African contexts.
Our efforts in the development of European citizenship education, in particular, have been focused on the development of the Education for Democratic Citizenship (EDC) framework.
In other contexts, we have worked in partnership with non-profit institutions engaged in the development of human rights education, political, legal literacy and active citizenship.
The Citizenship Foundation's international work includes:
- policy advice and consultancy;
- professional development for teachers, educators and advisers;
- resource and curriculum development;
- research and report writing;
- work with young people in youth and community settings;
- attendance to and participation in international conferences.
In an effort to strengthen our international citizenship programmes, reach new partners, and explore new arenas of international citizenship development, in September 2008, the Citizenship Foundation merged with the Council for Education in World Citizenship (CEWC).
CEWC, founded in 1939, has made major contributions to the citizenship debate, the education of individuals, and the development of policy and institutions in the United Kingdom. CEWC brings a strong legacy of international programme experience and an extensive network of alumni to our international work.
