Participation in civic engagement 2.0, Sweden
Main Info
TCA Description
This activity is linked to LT TCA "PEACE", coordinated by Italy. In December a training programme on civic engagement and active participation was started. The aim of PEACE is to set the start of a durable collaboration between the different agencies involved in the LTA project.
This conference will go further into the” round table discussions" of PEACE in December. In Malmö there will also be occasions to share national and international best practices on the theme of civic engagement, to look at the management of the actors supporting work within civic engagement and democratic life, one of the four horizontal priorities from EU for Erasmus+ 2021-2027.
The activity in Malmö will strengthen and develop the set key-recommendations on the theme to create possibilities for further dialogue and development within the theme. Focus will be put on the work with Erasmus+ ambassadors and Erasmus+ Role Models and the impact of these activities for participation in democratic life. The program in Malmö will combine keynotes, carousel working, group activities and study visits to organizations working on the theme. This to continue the enlightening of the opportunities Europe can give, opportunities linked to participation in democratic life and active citizenship.
The importance of having ambassadors and Role Models, sharing best practise, in all the educational sectors is a goal for this activity. The TCA also aims at showing the possibilty of international projects on the theme of participation in democratic life and active citizenship.
The goals of this LT are to reinforce European identity and sense of belonging, through the means of civic engagement dissemination activities;
