Introducing quality assurance of education for democratic citizenship in schools - comparative study of 10 countries Año de publicación: 2009 Autor corporativo: Council of Europe For over a decade the Council of Europe has been working on policies in the field of education for democratic citizenship (EDC). One result has been that the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe agreed on a recommendation stating that EDC is central to educational politics, and that it is a “factor for innovation in terms of organising and managing overall education systems, as well as curricula and teaching methods” (Recommendation Rec(2002)12). According to this recommendation, European governments acknowledged their responsibility for ensuring the cultural basis of democracy through education. However, politics is not so simple that supranational recommendations are immediately translated into policy in national states. This gap between agreed and realised policies has been termed a “compliance gap”. One of the most logical reasons for noncompliance comes from a lack of awareness or competences. Therefore the Council of Europe concentrated on producing materials that could help raise awareness and develop competences. Key products resulting from this effort have been collected as an “EDC/HRE Pack” since 2005.This collection covers the areas of policy making, democratic governance of educational institutions, teacher training and quality assurance. The “Tool for Quality Assurance of Education for Democratic Citizenship in Schools” (Bîrzea et al., 2005), which is one of these materials, forms the reference document for this study.This study analyses relevant conditions and possible activities with regard to implementing the tool in 10 national educational systems. As relevant conditions, the study considers the existing attempts to deliver educational quality within countries, together with the teacher training programmes that accompany these attempts. As possible activities, national adaptations of the tool, and various ways of working with different target groups, are also taken into account.The following sections provide background information concerning the project. This will help the reader understand why the tool needs to be adapted in different circumstances. Section 2 presents points of reference that open theoretical perspectives on the work presented. Section 3 provides a rationale for the selection of participating countries and gives and describes the methodology used when conducting this study. Finally, Section 4 provides an overview of the remaining contents of this book.

Higher Education and Democratic Culture: Citizenship, Human Rights and Civic Responsibility (Council of Europe Higher Education Series No.8) Año de publicación: 2008 Autor: Josef Huber | Ira Harkavy Autor corporativo: Council of Europe This book on the responsibility of higher education for a democratic culture is the 8th volume in the Council of Europe's Higher Education series. It is the direct result of a Higher Education Forum held in June 2006 on the responsibility of higher education for citizenship, human rights and sustainability. This forum was a part of the Council of Europe's long-standing commitment to work in the area of education for democratic citizenship and human rights. It complements earlier work on the public responsibility for higher education and research which led to a recommendation of the Committee of Minister to the member states of the Council of Europe in 2007. If our aim is to work for sustainable democratic societies, the responsibility of public authorities for a high-quality higher education system must go hand in hand with the responsibility of higher education institutions towards the advancement of society.

Regulatory Authorities for Electronic Media and Media Literacy: Comparative Analysis of the Best European Practices Año de publicación: 2018 Autor: Robert Tomljenović Autor corporativo: Council of Europe Information event for stakeholders of the media community in Serbia on presentation of the Study “Regulatory Authorities for Electronic Media and Media Literacy - Comparative analysis of the best European practices” was organized by the Council of Europe Office in Belgrade, JUFREX Programme and the Embassy of Finland in Serbia, on 20 December 2018, in order to jointly point out the importance of the development of media literacy in Serbia and the Western Balkans region.The study analyzes and indicates challenges and issues that come with living in a digitalized, hypertechnological mediated world, in which we are faced with countless information, issues of disinformation and fake news, algorithmic separation in ideological echo chambers, hate speech, clickbait journalism, and decreased trust in both mainstream media and the level of journalistic professionalism. With such a media ecosystem, it is vital to define the position of a regulatory authority for electronic media as well as its responsibilities and obligations, and stress the regulator's role in promoting and developing media literacy, one of the key skills for living in the 21st century and the answer to many questions and challenges that come with the modern era."The Council of Europe considers media literacy one of the main tools for strengthening media pluralism and the quality of media content. All media actors in Serbia have the responsibility to promote media literacy to enable understanding and critical analysis of content offered by traditional and digital media. Especially children have the right to a safe and stimulating media environment" said Head of the Council of Europe Office in Belgrade, Tobias Flesenkemper.The study emphasizes that a prerequisite for every democratic process is a well-informed citizen. The Study presents several examples of best European practices and how to engage regulatory bodies and all other relevant actors to increase media literacy, with a particular focus on the Finnish model in this area. Media education is implemented in Finland wherever there are children and youth, not only in kindergartens and schools, but also in libraries, playrooms, youth centers, even in virtual communities and digital games.As pointed out by the Ambassador of Finland in Belgrade, Perti Ikonen, the high level of media literacy of citizens is what the media in Finland forces to adhere to high professional standards, and basically the work of the institutions responsible for the promotion of media literacy. Finland took over the chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in November this year, and during its term of office, until May 2019, the priorities of the Finnish Presidency will be to strengthen the human rights and rule of law system in Europe, support equality as well as inclusiveness with a particular focus on youth and the prevention of radicalization.The study was developed within the framework of the Joint European Union and the Council of Europe Programme "Strengthening the Judicial Expertise on Freedom of Expression and Media in South-East Europe (JUFREX)".

Internet Literacy Handbook: Supporting Users in the Online World Año de publicación: 2017 Autor: Janice Richardson | Elizabeth Milovidov | Martin Schmalzried Autor corporativo: Council of Europe Since the first edition of the Internet Literacy Handbook was issued in 2003 the world of the Internet has changed tremendously. The number of Internet users has risen; users are increasingly younger, trends in how people use the Internet and what they are looking for evolve, and new pitfalls in, for example, personal security arise seemingly overnight.This new edition takes into account the myriad changes, although the object of the Handbook still remains, namely to offer families, educators and policy-makers sufficient technical know-how to allow them to navigate, with young people, through communication technology. The new edition also expands the scope of the Fact sheets anchoring previously “new” concepts of digital citizenship and digital parenting. This edition includes 26 Fact sheets arranged under 6 thematic headings including a heading specifically dedicated to “Looking Forward” towards the future of the Internet. The Handbook is designed to be easy to use and helpful, as illustrated by the Fact sheet entitled “Finding quality information on the Web”. It is also available online, where it can be downloaded either in its full format or per individual factsheet.

Manuel de maîtrise de l'internet: Accompagner les utilisateurs dans le monde en ligne Año de publicación: 2017 Autor: Janice Richardson | Elizabeth Milovidov | Martin Schmalzried Autor corporativo: Conseil de l'Europe Depuis la publication de la première édition du Manuel de maîtrise d’Internet en 2003, le monde en ligne a beaucoup changé. Les Internautes sont de plus en plus jeunes, leur nombre a augmenté, leurs usages d’Internet et l’objet de leurs recherches évoluent et de nouveaux dangers, par exemple en matière de sécurité individuelle, apparaissent chaque jour. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de ces nombreux changements mais conserve son objectif, qui est de donner aux familles, aux enseignants et aux décideurs politiques des connaissances techniques suffisantes pour pouvoir naviguer, avec les jeunes, dans le monde des technologies de la communication. La nouvelle édition étend également le contenu des Fiches d’information aux concepts qui étaient alors «nouveaux» de citoyenneté numérique et de parentalité numérique, ce qui porte le nombre de fiches à 26, organisées en six thématiques dont l’une est spécialement consacrée à l’avenir d’Internet. Le manuel se veut convivial et pratique, comme l’illustre la fiche intitulée « Trouver de l’information de qualité sur le web ». Il est également accessible en ligne où il peut être téléchargé dans son intégralité ou fiche par fiche.
