Target Groups
Promoting active citizenship across Europe, per the Strategic Framework for European Cooperation in Education and Training (ET 2020), is one of the main objectives of EU education systems. Citizenship education is included in the education system of some EU member states. Yet, the content, duration and grade level of such education varies by nation (eg Primary level in Italy; Primary, secondary and upper level in Norway; Compulsory subject in primary and secondary level in Turkey; Integrated into social sciences/ Eurydice in Lithuania). The OECD International Student Assessment Program (PISA) measures the extent to which 15yr-old students can solve problems they will encounter in life and provides information about the success of countries' education systems. However, citizenship education is ignored in PISA evaluations due to the national disparities.
INDIRECT TARGET GROUPS:
Youth Workers, youth organisations, local councils etc.
