The diversity of the European societies have posed both opportunities and challenges to education and training systems, calling for a greater emphasis to be placed on promoting inclusion and common values to facilitate the coexistence of different cultural identities in a peaceful and democratic Europe. Civic education (CE) was set at the top of the European agenda. In spite of any efforts accomplished till now, the general level of knowledge of the European Union, its policies and its institutions remains less than optimal, with a large part of the population having little knowledge or information about the history, culture and values of the EU. This is particularly valid for adults in disadvantaged situations, as from migrant or ethnic minority background, refugees and newly arrived and/or settled migrants.Citizenship education entails learning objectives which are more likely to be met through experiential learning or learning by doing. Improving educators’ knowledge and skills for teaching citizenship had been identified as one of the significant challenges in recent Eurydice study. The “Civic dimensions for social inclusion” project (CivicAL) addressed the gap in civic education for adults in disadvantaged situation in 6 European countries, reflecting on the importance of extra-curricular aspects of CE within the frames of a multicultural European environment. It replied to the needs of adult educators to provide appropriate training sessions in Civic education for disadvantaged learners. The partnership proved that developing the adult educators’ competences, providing them with pedagogical tools in a multicultural environment, has achieved to empower and support teachers/trainers to facilitate discussions on perceived injustice, radical ideas and even extreme opinions. CivicAL produced a Trainer’s Manual: “Civic Education for Disadvantaged Learners” in 7 European languages, consisting of 6 units. Each unit contains a lesson plan, enriched with games, web quests, as well as recommendations for additional resources to be used. A suggested scope and sequence for the use of the material is also analysed for each unit.Experiential learning through reflection on doing and participatory learning approaches were applied. Non-formal educational techniques for adult learners were adopted. Good practices and interactive methods such as problem-solving activities were utilised to motivate them and facilitate change in thinking on delivering the civic education values. Main objectives were: • Support disadvantaged learners by providing civic training and guidance as a way of preventing social exclusion; • Support civic education that focus on different cultures, religions and beliefs, to enhance knowledge and understanding of common values and to create a democratic learning environment; • Empower and strengthen the role of adult educators in developing innovative pedagogical approaches, making them able to deal with diversity in non-formal learning environment; • Build close cooperation between civil society, education and cultural organisations, local authorities and the private sector to ensure active participation of all members of the learning community in acquiring civic competences; • Involve the wider community in the promotion of EU values, culture and social inclusion of disadvantaged adult learners. CivicAL has also provided vulnerable adults with educational serious game, where the player is able to step into different roles while learning about the concepts of civic education. The impact on users was the raised awareness on basic EU citizenship terms and the development of concrete skills needed for their effective civil participation. Total of 556 direct beneficiaries were involved in the project activities (142 adult education providers in pilot tests of the Manual, 126 disadvantaged learners in tests of the Game, 247 stakeholders in Multiplier Events, celebrated in the 6 partner countries, 41 staff members and associated partners in transnational meetings and implementation tasks). Approximately 4800 people were indirectly reached through the planned dissemination channels.The partnership, formed by entities from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, Italy, Romania and Spain was continuously monitoring and evaluating the project results, ensuring their broad exploitation by running co-development and exchange activities with institutions, communities and networks. In times of rising nationalism and questioning the future of the European Union, the knowledge of its history, culture and values is of a vital necessity. The goal of the project was to make a long-term change in the attitude of the involved participants towards mutual understanding and intercultural dialogue, community involvement and active European citizenship, respect of equal opportunities and non-discrimination.
