2025 European conference for eTwinning Schools in Nice

The conference ‘Strengthening citizenship education in eTwinning Schools’ will explore how eTwinning Schools can empower pupils to be active participants in their learning and civic life.  

The conference will bring together school leaders and experienced teachers to discuss how the core values of the eTwinning School mission connect to citizenship education. Participants will look at ways to encourage inclusivity, democratic participation and critical thinking in schools, and find partners for their citizenship education projects. 

What to expect 

Highlights from the programme include: 

• A keynote speech on frameworks for civic education and how to implement them in ways that are meaningful and suitable for each educational setting. 
• A keynote presentation on how embedding democratic values, critical thinking and pupil agency in everyday learning can help pupils become active citizens. 
• Workshops on effective methodologies for teaching citizenship education, such as project-based learning, collaborative projects and digital literacy initiatives. 
• Practice-sharing sessions where participants can exchange ideas and examples of how pupil agency is part of the school culture.
