Lack of Modern Students' Well-Ordered Public Life and the Construction Way—From the Perspective of Schools' Civic Education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Gao Fengqing Corporate author: Shanxi Academy of Educational Sciences | Shanxi Educational Association Public life is a practical communication activity for citizens that takes place in the public sphere to promote public awareness, public affairs and public morality. The lack of students’ public life is likely to lead to the lack of relationship in schools’ civic education, the weakening of students’ micro-public space consciousness and publicity in the Internet age, and the removal of cultural intimacy of civic education. Schools’ civic education should be based on the construction of the whole social public space, so that students’ public life will be organically linked with the global social public space. Schools should solve the conflicts between public expression and individual discourse expression by activating the student citizenship, pay attention to the shaping of students’ cultural emotions through public life experience of national history and Confucianism, and promote the achievement of students’ social emotions and social consensus.

European pack for visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and museum - Guidelines for teachers and educators Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: Council of Europe | Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum | Poland. Ministry of Education Taking groups of students to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum is a heavy responsibility, but it is a major contribution to citizenship if it fosters understanding of what Auschwitz stands for, particularly when the last survivors are at the end of their lives. This pack is designed for teachers wishing to organize student visits to authentic places of remembrance, and for the guides, academics and others who work every day with young people at Auschwitz. To avoid the risk of inappropriate reactions or the failure to benefit from a large investment in travel and accommodation, considerable preparation and discussion is necessary before the visit and serious reflection afterwards. This pack offers insights into the complexities of human behaviour so that students can have a better understanding of what it means to be a citizen. The young people who visit Auschwitz in the next few years will be witnesses of the last witnesses. Their generation will be the last to hear the survivors speaking on the spot. The Council of Europe, the Polish Ministry of Education and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum are jointly sponsoring this project aimed at preventing crimes against humanity through Holocaust remembrance teaching.
