Understanding Policy Instrument Choice Concerning Citizenship in Education and Youth Policies: A Typology of Public Tools Year of publication: 2018 Author: Valérie Becquet Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques Whether at European or at national level, issues relating to the citizenship of young people are present in public debates and give to the implementation of specific tools. The past and the recurrence of setting up this issue on the agenda invites to reflect on the dynamics of public action. This article presents a typology of the tools gradually developed in two public sectors that concern young people: education and youth. Based on a policy instrument choice approach, it highlights that the choices made by public decision-makers to deal with citizenship issues lead to a multiplication and a diversification of the tools. This proliferation introduces suppose to reflect on the legibility of public action: if those mechanisms can be seen as complementary and as an opportunity for young people, they can also enter into tension. In a context of generational renewal of the electorate, it also calls for reflection on the consequences for young people’s practices and on the building of the perception of citizenship. Comprendre l’instrumentation des questions de citoyenneté dans les politiques d’éducation et de jeunesse : une typologie des dispositifs d’action publique Year of publication: 2018 Author: Valérie Becquet Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques Que ce soit au niveau européen qu’au niveau national, les enjeux relatifs à la citoyenneté des jeunes sont présents dans les débats publics et donnent lieu à la mise en place de dispositifs spécifiques. L’ancienneté et la récurrence de la mise à l’agenda de cette question invitent à réfléchir sur les dynamiques de l’action publique. Cet article propose une typologie des dispositifs progressivement développés dans deux secteurs publics qui interviennent auprès des jeunes : l’éducation et la jeunesse. En mobilisant une approche par les instruments d’action publique, il met en évidence que les choix opérés par les décideurs publics pour traiter des questions de citoyenneté conduisent à une multiplication et à une diversification des dispositifs. Cette prolifération interroge la lisibilité de l’action publique : si les dispositifs peuvent apparaître complémentaires et constituer une opportunité pour les jeunes, ils peuvent aussi entrer en tension. Dans un contexte de renouvellement générationnel du corps électoral, elle invite également à réfléchir sur les conséquences sur les pratiques des jeunes et sur la construction de leur représentation de la citoyenneté. 
Collection des meilleures pratiques en éducation pour une citoyenneté mondiale en Afrique centrale Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO This collection of best practices in human rights education in Central Africa and Ethiopia was prepared in order to respond to UNESCO’s demand to promote such initiatives and to ensure a multiplier effect considering human rights education in the region. The objective is to support the concept of UNESCO’s ‘Global Citizenship Education’ in the field of human rights education in identifying its best practices. In order to identify the best practices, UNESCO’s activities in the field of human rights education in the region were mapped out. This mapping out has shown big differences in implementing the initiatives focused on achieving global citizenship education through human rights education, particularly in primary and secondary education, as indicated in the first phase of the World Programme for human rights education. Nevertheless, various initiatives collected are either conducted/supported by UNESCO or not, in terms of three themes: citizenship education, intercultural dialogue, and the peace and security which are considered to be relevant to Africa in general and particularly to Central Africa, in order to address the main theme of global citizenship education. The selected best practices deal with the tertiary level and are in line with the second phase of the World Programme for human rights education, covering the period between 2009 and 2014 and focusing on higher and vocational education. The practices include 1) citizenship education which supports the principles set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and which is reiterated in the two phases of the World Programme for human rights education, 2) the intercultural dialogue which supports education for understanding and evaluating unity in diversity, and which fits well with the objectives of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development proclaimed by the UN General Assembly and managed by UNESCO, and 3) education for peace and security.It is obvious that many linkages exist among the three subjects mentioned above. Therefore, the examples presented in this collection can affect one or several problems. Each example is presented with the following sequence: identification, background, implementation, and results. Developing Holocaust Curricula: The Content Decision-Making Process The content decision-making process involved in developing Holocaust curricula is unusually complex and problematic. Educators must consider factors such as historical accuracy, selection of topics covered, potential teaching materials (such as textbooks and literary texts), and graphic materials (such as films and photographs) as they plan their Holocaust units. Judiciously considered decisions regarding these factors allow teachers to present accurate, appropriate and meaningful units on the subject, thus conveying the story of the Holocaust in ways that are pedagogically sound and historically viable. Accordingly, the author does not focus on the content to be included in a Holocaust unit but rather considers several factors important to selecting that content. (By the author)
