CiCe's 14th Annual Conference: Creating Citizenship Communities: Local, National and Global

We are pleased to announce the 14th annual Children’s Identity and Citizenship in Europe Conference. The conference, under the theme: Creating Citizenship Communities, will be held at the University of York, UK, from the 24th to the 26th of May 2012.

This year's conference will be organized in association with two significant groups in the field of citizenship education: CitizED (a global network of academics) and the project team of the Esmée Fairbairn funded initiative ‘Creating Citizenship Communities’.

The conference theme of creating citizenship communities is particularly pertinent to citizenship and identities education. It reflects on current concerns for community cohesion from local to global scales and chimes with current initiatives around volunteering and intergenerational solidarity.

Please visit the conference page for details. We look forward to seeing you all in York.
