Training Modules on European Citizenship (2004-2005)

 In 2004-2005, the Partnership Programme organised short-term training modules that addressed various aspects of European Citizenship for youth workers and youth leaders. The modules were the fruit of a co-operation of the educational advisers of the Directorate of Youth and Sport as well as the network of National Agencies and the SALTO centres.

* The views expressed in the conclusive report and in the annexes are those of the participants of the seminar. They do not necessarily reflect the official position of the Partnership secretariat and of the Partnership management bodies.

The general aims for these training Modules on European citizenship were: 

• to develop a sense of space and place in contemporary Europe, the skills required to be active agents for change and development, and the knowledge required to make choices within this context
• to support the professional development of youth workers and youth leaders by extending their competencies to integrate elements of European citizenship within their projects and practice and support their role as multipliers with young people.

Objectives of the training modules:

• To provide participants with knowledge and information about the historical role and present function of European institutions and the concepts and formal meanings and expressions of European citizenship.
• To enable participants to reflect about European citizenship and European identity and key values and concepts associated with it, such as safeguarding human rights, participation in the development of democracy and respect for cultural diversity.
• To develop participants’ knowledge and motivation to critically understand the European youth programmes and their potential to support the European citizenship dimension of youth work.

• to offer them a good understanding of the modules and their logistics from 2006.
• to enable them to recognise and assess the "European Citizenship" dimension in the projects.
