    inspired of:

    The founders of this project had a creative brainstorming on the subject of human rights, values and citizenship after the Tunisian partner's participation and experience on the MCDC Tunisian Project (more info on the presentation of Myriem).

    The final form, scheduling and the frame of this project is a collaborative work among almost all partners beggining from a shared google sheet and mainly after long meetings in Live Events in eTwinning Live.

    A. CITIZENSHIP OF A COUNTRY AND CITIZENSHIP OF THE "WORLD": Values/obligations and rights

    "Education plays an essential role in the promotion of the core values of the Council of Europe: democracy, human rights and the rule of law, as well as in the prevention of human rights violations. More generally, education is increasingly seen as a defence against the rise of violence, racism, extremism, xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance. This growing awareness is reflected in the adoption of the Council of Europe Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education (“EDC/HRE”) by the Organisation’s 47 member states in the framework of Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)7."  source: Council of Europe

    Based on these we discuss about the difference in citizenship of a specific countries and global citizenship. 

    Active Citizen

    The concept of the “citizen” and, thus, of the “active citizen” emerged in ancient Greece. According to Aristotle, a citizen who had a passive attitude towards public life was indeed a useless citizen. Contrary to the traditional view of Aristotle, modern liberal politics focus on  individual freedoms and rights, while citizenship in the globalized society gains an ecumenical dimension. In the context of societies with supranational characteristics, citizenship relates to newly established concepts, as post-national citizenship, european governance, global civil society and cosmopolitanism.

    The level of democracy and the role of the state in society are largely defined by the status of individual, political, social and human rights. 

     A responsible citizen is one who pays attention to the needs of the collectivity and not only his/ her personal needs. Such a citizen feels and acts as part of a wider whole and that is the true challenge of the coming years:  open and free civil society, participation, respect and sharing. Our societies will advance only if citizens are equally concerned on what they can offer to as well as gain from the community.  

    An active citizen is a responsible one, who is informed about his/ her rights and obligations, expresses his/ her views freely and actively participates in public life.

    For a citizen to be active, he/ she must be well informed, trained and familiar with the alternatives for his/ her participation in public life. Above all, he/ she must have a free access to information of his/ her interest. This kind of Information may broaden available choices to him/ her, support him/ her in decision making and promote his/ her active participation in a local, national and European level.

    Relationship between education for democratic citizenship and human rights education are closely inter-related and mutually supportive. They differ in focus and scope rather than in goals and practices. Education for democratic citizenship focuses primarily on democratic rights and responsibilities and active participation, in relation to the civic, political, social, economic, legal and cultural spheres of society, while human rights education is concerned with the broader spectrum of human rights and fundamental freedoms in every aspect of people’s lives. Being a human with ethos is the basis for a good citizenship worldwide
