Citizenship education resources
Schools can offer children early democratic experiences, both taught and practical. However, January’s experts, Janis Fifka and Anya Suprunenko from the European Youth Parliament, say that educational institutions often mirror a non-participatory system that inadvertently reinforces passiveness rather than encouraging active engagement. January’s practice article showed how different projects are trying to activate youth participation ahead of the June elections.
A ballot box does not make a house of democracy
Understanding your voice: youth participation in an election year
Our January news articles explored how schools involve children in decision-making in different ways, to ensure that they adopt a democratic mindset, grow into active citizens, and gradually develop a sense of responsibility towards society as a whole.

We also looked at a European Commission issue paper which highlights the main the policy-level challenges in the teaching and content of citizenship education across Europe.
Spotlight on citizenship education policy and practice
Our final articles discussed the importance of digital citizenship skills and teaching critical thinking skills from an early age. Our tutorial goes further into the topic by looking at how these skills contribute to media literacy – essential in this European election year.

World Environment Day: resources
Climate change and girls’ education – school resource pack
This resource explores how climate-related disasters often amplify existing gender inequalities. It shows how girls’ education can benefit all of society in adapting and mitigating for climate change whilst enabling a fairer and more sustainable society.
According to the Malala Fund, by 2025, climate change will be a contributing factor in preventing at least 12.5 million girls from completing their education each year.
Climate change and girls’ education: school resource pack is designed for teachers and facilitators in education settings for young people aged 11 to 17. Over the course of six lessons (steps), pupils will:
- understand the urgent importance of addressing climate change and the importance of climate justice;
- explore how climate-related disasters often amplify existing gender inequalities and how girls’ education can benefit all of society in adapting and mitigating for climate change whilst enabling a fairer and more sustainable society;
- learn from other youth activists from around the world and think about the stages that might be involved in planning for social action.
As part of their learning, pupils will have the opportunity to develop core skills in critical thinking and problem solving, citizenship, student leadership, creativity and imagination and aspects of digital literacy.

Wellbeing without overload: Integrating self-care in teaching practices

In recent years, there has been a concerning increase in reported levels of stress and burnout among teachers across Europe. This trend not only underscores the critical need to focus on teachers’ social and emotional competencies and diversity awareness but also points to a broader issue affecting the attractiveness of the teaching profession.
In addition, in the context of pandemic, teachers reported increased levels of burnout, work exhaustion, cynicism, feelings of fear and loneliness from confinement, frustration due to distance learning, anxiety, and depression, as well as lower engagement. These elements can fuel the ongoing teacher shortage crisis.
The key questions addressed during this webinar will be:
• How can schools reduce stress and enhance teacher well-being?
• What practical strategies can be implemented to integrate well-being into the daily routines of teachers without adding to their workload?
• How do successful school programs incorporate well-being practices into their curricula?
• What are the benefits of prioritising teacher well-being for the overall educational experience of students?
