Curriculum development and review for democratic citizenship and human rights education Year of publication: 2015 Author: Felisa Tibbitts Corporate author: Council of Europe Education for democratic citizenship and human rights education (EDC/HRE) are educational areas that contribute fundamentally to our ability to live together in communities, in countries and as neighbours across national borders.

Imagining a Post-COVID-19 Global Citizenship Education Year of publication: 2020 Author: Marta Estelles | Gustavo E. Fischman Corporate author: State University of Ponta Grossa The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented conditions in all areas of social life and as the suspension of schooling became “the new normal,” numerous experts and opinion-makers rushed to voice their recommendations to overnments and educational organizations for normalizing schooling operations. In light of this worldwide crisis, we re-evaluate proposals to expand the model of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) that have received increasing attention and support from both international organizations, governments, and scholars.In this article, we argue that the predominately redemptive nature of GCE models and proposals since the mid-1990s cannot handle global problems associated with the current pandemic such as the restriction of citizen’s privacy rights or the strengthening of exclusionary nationalistic messaging. Instead, more realistic models of GCE are needed. This paper concludes with new questions to strengthen the debate and alternatives for imagining a non-redemptive and more realistic GCE. 
Global Citizenship Education in Europe: A Comparative Study on Education Policies across 10 EU Countries Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Global Schools | European Union (EU) This research, realised in the framework of the EU-funded project Global Schools, is a comparative qualitative analysis of educational policies of 10 European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, England) that support the introduction of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in primary school curriculum. The analysis focuses on four main topics: 1) identification of key actors and definition of their roles; 2) conceptual and terminology analysis; 3) levels and modes of implementation of GCE in primary school; and 4) identification of barriers to introducing GCE in the primary school system.The research has highlighted that political actors, not only governmental ones, play a crucial role in implementing GCE policies, as well as in promoting GCE more generally, and in facilitating links between different actors, who in some countries may otherwise have little institutional coordination with schools. The conceptual analysis points out that, besides the choice of different wording of GCE national terms, the main topics composing GCE are very similar. The specific terminology often reflects the history, will and political discourse of the organisations promoting GCE in the different countries.
