NECE Conference 2018 / 6 - 9 September 2018 Marseille (France) | NECE - Networking European Citizenship Education | bpb.de

Detailed conference documentation on Externer Link: www.nece-conference.eu

Liberal democracy is in a state of crisis. Worldwide, a "democratic recession" can be observed, even in countries that have long claimed a leading role in defending and spreading democratic values and freedoms. Uncertainties about the future of the European Union and its transformation into a "Citizens’ Europe" are shaping the run-up to the European Parliament elections in May 2019.

This year's NECE conference in Marseille provided a platform for the development of strategies on how citizenship education and civil society can counter the negative trend in liberal democracy and defend the civic space and basic democratic rights and freedoms in our societies.

Speakers included Latifa Ibn Ziaten, Vincent F. Hendricks, Fernando Vallespìn, Jan-Werner Müller, Basil Kerski, Claire Demesmay, Edit Inotai, Istvan Hegedüs, Karolina Wigura, Alberto Alemanno and Emily O’Reilly.

Inspired by the open and creative venue of the Externer Link: Friche La Belle de Mai in the heart of Marseille this year’s conference created a "festival" of networking, dialogue and inspiration offering lots and in part new opportunities to actively participate in shaping the programme.

• Participants could introduce themselves and start by participating in the NECE Mapping.

• The IDEA CAMPUS offered a great diversity of workshops, lectures, trainings and labs where participants got in touch with experienced practitioners and activists.

• During the FIELD TRIPS participants could explore local organisations, initiatives, projects and activists engaged in citizenship education.

• The OPEN SPACE gave participants an opportunity to find new project partners and to create their own forum for networking and ideas.

• Video stream: All plenary keynotes were live-streamed. Watch the stream on http://www.nece-conference.eu/live-stream.

The conference participants included citizenship educators, activists and students from Europe and North Africa as well as the local public of Marseille, French educators and civil society organisations.
