Civic Education WG: Help the Working Group work!

The Civic Education Working Group has not only 2 aims and 5 objectives, but also plenty of ideas. One of them is to create the collection of civic education workshops scenarios.

But in order to do so,  we need your help!  Many of you have access to amazing materials in your locals, European bodies or other organisations. Many of you are also carrying lots of incredible knowledge in you precious heads. Share it with us!

We promise to make good use of those workshop scenarios and give them back to you in a form of nice collections. So do not hesitate and send us all you have got to [log in to unmask].
