Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

What is citizenship? Why does citizenship matter in teaching and education?

Citizenship Education is a subject concerned with topics and didactics principles that are relevant to all disciplines. These include diversity, heterogeneity, inclusion and exclusion dynamics.
The course will focus on how to address controversial topics and citizenship-related issues that concern students and society more broadly.
The seminar aims to support students reflecting on teachers’ roles, methods, and teaching approaches.
Students are expected to become familiar with the principles and core ideas of Citizenship Education and its didactics.
They are furthermore expected to develop/strengthen teaching abilities, including:
• Communication skills: ability to convey evidence-based ideas in discussions, capacity to convey one’s point of view in a discussion, adapt the most appropriate communication means for a given context.
• Methodological skills: providing multiple perspectives and reflecting a plurality of interests in teaching; how to use (short) films as teaching tools.

This course is designed on active education and student-centred methodologies. Therefore, students’ active participation is required.
The course will involve activities around (short) films, communication exercises, presentations, group discussions and work.
