Competences for Democratic Culture: Living together as equals in culturally diverse democratic societies Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Council of Europe This document is a product of a Council of Europe project which is taking place in four phases during 2014-17. The first phase has been devoted to the development of a conceptual model of the competences which citizens require to participate effectively in a culture of democracy. This document describes the model and the methods that were used to develop it. The document is aimed at readers who wish to understand the underlying assumptions and technical details of the model. Phase two of the project will be devoted to the development of descriptors (i.e. statements or descriptions of what a person is able to do if they have mastered the various competences that are specified by the model), phase three to ascertaining whether it is possible to assign the descriptors to levels of proficiency, and phase four to the production of supporting documentation. This documentation will be addressed to educational practitioners and policy makers, and will provide a less technical description of the current competence model. It will also explain how the model and the descriptors can be used to assist curriculum design, pedagogical design and the development of new forms of assessment (for use in either selfassessment or assessment by others). All of the materials that are produced by the project will eventually be incorporated into a Council of Europe reference framework of competences for democratic culture. Further information about the project is available from the project website: www.coe.int/competences

An Exploration of Citizenship Identity and Civic Awareness: An Analysis of Moral and Civic Education Primary School Textbooks in Macao (Educational Journal ; Vol.48, No.1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: 黄素君 | 黄乐源 | 谢均才 This article aims to explore the discourses of citizenship identity and civic awareness embedded in the series of Moral and Civic Education primary school textbooks in Macao. The study reveals that: (a) the personal and collective level of civic awareness is the dominant discourse in the textbooks; (b) the textbooks give an important weighting to the cultivation of the character of citizens as well as the importance of individual self-discipline and collective value; (c) patriotic education and civic education intertwine in order to cultivate a patriotic Chinese citizen; (d) “respect” is the key concept in cultivating the global citizen in the textbooks. The citizenship presented in the textbooks emphasizes the formation of national identity, and a form of responsibility-driven civic awareness. In essence, the cultivation of citizenship identity and civic awareness still demonstrates a passive and self-disciplined view. This article suggests that curriculum design should emphasize on the cultivation of fairness and critical thinking in order to fulfill a comprehensive mission and function of citizenship education.

Cultural Identity and Citizenship With the Challenges of Globalization (Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences; Vol.6, No.13) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Huda Alshamsi Corporate author: Arab Institute of Science and Research Publishing (AISRP) Citizenship is the emotional feeling that is based on three important pillars, including democracy in human rights, civil society, and the relationship between citizenship and identity, is manifested in the active role of individuals in social construction within human societies. Globalization affects citizenship when it exists among individuals and groups in society. Individual and social affiliations, characterized by anthropological features within social groups, can also impact citizenship. Thus, there may be a specific relationship between globalization and cultural, religious, or other identity patterns. Today, globalization threatens both identity and citizenship. As societies adapt to the global system through these global changes that force interaction with globalization, it becomes essential for communities to address this issue to preserve their identity and individual belonging, whether geographically or socially. This forms the basis for researching the dimensions related to citizenship, identity, globalization, and their interrelationships, which pose significant challenges for societies.
