Formulation of the problem. Due to the relevance of civic education for young people, in particular high school students, an integrated course of Civic Education was included in the main curriculum. However, there is a problem of lack of a holistic approach, a system of motivation to study the subject, and formal education’s limited resources. There is currently a need to intensify civic education through the involvement of the students in practice. The performance of the course and the level of civic education will increase significantly if it is implemented in addition to formal education, in a non-formal one. The article answers the question of how to make the process of training an active citizen more integral and more efficient. Materials and methods. The experience of Ukrainian public organizations in the implementation of civic education projects through participatory artistic practices is used. The analysis of pedagogical, sociological, and scientific-methodological literature on the education of civic position of youth in the system of formal and non-formal education is applied. Results. The model of participatory artistic practices is described as a modern tool of civic education and civic action in terms of their multi-agent structure, which includes the cooperation of students, educators, artists, school administration, local government representatives, the general community. The methods and approaches to civic education programs are presented. The organizational algorithm of the participatory art practice with elements of civic education is specified. Conclusions. The existing integrated curriculum for Civic Education, implemented in the tenth grade, needs practical support through the field of non-formal education. This possibility is provided by the algorithms of civic education projects through participatory artistic practices that are implemented in extracurricular time. The introduced cases show the high efficiency of such practices in ensuring the civic competencies of young people. Participation in such practices provides students with the formation of cross-cutting competencies, which are revealed through social activity, social responsibility, tolerance, the ability to advocate their thoughts and positions, the ability to interact both horizontally and vertically.

In this chapter, Sally Power looks at school students’ engagement in civil society – an issue about which very little is known. Drawing on survey data with 1000 14-year-olds in Wales, this chapter challenges the largely negative media portrayals of young people as being selfishly- rather than civically-minded. Levels of associational membership among these young people are high, and levels of charitable activity and volunteering are extraordinarily high – engaged in by the overwhelming majority of young people and far more frequently than by older people. However, the data also indicate that young people are very ambivalent about the value of these activities which must raise issues about future levels of civil and political participation.

Insight Into

В статье исследуется роль социальных сетей, в частности Instagram, в развитии гражданской и цифровой активности молодежи. В условиях пандемии коронавируса вовлеченность молодежи в гражданские онлайн-мероприятия приобретает особое значение. Instagram не предоставляет данных о возрасте пользователей, однако, ориентируясь на среднестатистического пользователя, можно рассматривать эту сеть как важный информационный ресурс для молодежи. Вовлечение в гражданские акции происходит в Instagram как через популярные сообщества, так и посредством воздействия постов влиятельных медиаперсон. Основной целью исследования является выявление авторитетных информационных источников и медиаперсон в сети Instagram, влияющих на социальную активность молодежи в гражданском обществе. Эмпирическим материалом исследования являются сообщества, хештеги и тексты постов в Instagram, отражающие установки россиян в отношении ежегодной гражданской акции «Бессмертный полк». Анализ цифровых следов в Instagram на примере потока «Бессмертный полк» позволяет выявить, каким образом пользователи воспринимают данную гражданскую инициативу, кто из блогеров является лидером общественного мнения в данном тематическом кластере. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для разработки концептуальных основ гражданского образования студентов и школьников в условиях информационного многообразия. The article investigates the role of social networks, Instagram in particular, on the development of young people’s civic engagement in the digital age. The coronavirus pandemic has increased young peoples civic engagement in an online environment. Instagram doesn’t provide insight into its users’ ages, but average Instagram users are young people, therefore the social media is an important information resource for young people. Young people are engaged in virtual events via popular communities and via posts published by prominent media people. The goal of the research is to investigate authoritative information resources and media people in Instagram that can influence young people’s social activities in civil society. The research investigates Instagram communities, hashtags and texts posted on Instagram and reflecting Russian people’s attitudes to the annual Immortal Regiment March. The analysis of digital footprint left by the Immortal Regiment discussions enables the authors of the article to investigate young people’s perception of this civic event and to find out which bloggers are considered authoritative. The results of the research can be used to develop the conceptual framework for students’ and school children’s civic education in the conditions of information diversity.

Abstract Both in citizenship education research and public debate, interest in understanding the role and significance of young people in the current state and future of democracy is ongoing. From one point of view, young people are seen as alienated and passive, thus raising concern. From another point of view, young people are seen as drivers for change, thus raising hope. This chapter intends to explore such contradicting roles of the young Nordic citizens. The basic questions are as follows: (1) What are the characteristics of the Nordic youth relative to the youth in other regions? (2) What are their main perceptions and attitudes towards the active and passive dimensions of citizenship? (3) Have these characteristics and perceptions changed over time? Empirically, the analyses and interpretations are based on IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2009 and ICCS 2016 data applied to demonstrate the regional trends, similarities, and differences among youth. In general, the Nordic youth are relatively passive with regard to political participation. At the same time, however, they are knowledgeable and democratically engaged. We propose a new analytical concept to understand this “double-sided” civic engagement of the Nordic youth as the reserved young Nordic citizens.

AbstractThis chapter brings the results from the chapters in this book together to explore how civic and citizenship education can be or is relevant in a context beyond school. We have demonstrated that IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) provides results based on conventional understandings of democracy but also includes elements allowing us to address issues supporting the need for profound changes in education and, hence, relevant for both policymakers and practitioners working to make education relevant to the world the students are entering. To enable and support our young citizens in their civic actions in a rapidly changing world, we need transformative civic education. A Nordic lens on civic and citizenship education allows questions relevant for an advanced technological future and promoting civic engagement through education for environmental sustainability. How to measure and to teach civic and citizenship education is relevant to the extent that it is addressing the reality in which we live, the societal and environmental challenges we face.

And Training

The ‘Arab Awakening’ in 2011 witnessed a series of uprisings that had many different influences and motivations, but that collectively unsettled governing and rule in the region. Amongst the influences on the uprisings are geopolitical interests and strategies on the part of international organisations and programmes that promote civic engagement and citizenship on the part of young people in the region. These programmes had multiple goals, including improving the image of the West amongst people in the Middle East who might otherwise be suspicious of the West and training young people to enact democratic change through civil society. Such programmes are often accused of importing values and practices associated with the West and of depoliticising activism. The events of 2011, however, suggest the indeterminacy of the programmes and the unpredictable ways in which youth use the skills they learned. Given this, the short-, medium- and long-term outcomes of the programmes – and indeed of the protests in 2011 – remain uncertain.

The issue of Islam as a terrorist blows louder. State of Indonesia as the country with the most Islamic religion being similarly affected, especially because many Muslim citizens suspected and already proven to be involved in the case terosisme deadly juwa. To dismiss these issues, civic education is needed to instill nationalism that every citizen is not easily commit acts of terrorism, by reason of the difference, and so on. Citizenship education also provide a gap to every person to be able to live freely and comfortably in the country. Therefore, the implementation of civic education should be emphasized at all levels of formal and non-formal education because Islam alone is not enough.

The Impact

Over the past two decades, there has been a wide-ranging debate about the impact of citizenship education on young people’s political engagement and participation across Britain. Using data from a survey of 1025 young people aged 18 years at the time of the 2010 General Election, we examined the impact that studying for a formal qualification in General Certificate of Secondary Education in Citizenship Studies has on young people’s political and civic engagement. Drawing from the hypothesis that those young people who took the course would be more engaged than those who did not, results demonstrated that there are many differences between the two groups in terms of their political perspectives as well as their past and future patterns of political participation.

The paper on to explore how citizenship education is defined in the system of higher educational institutions in Great Britain and to describe some of the current activities designed to encourage the development of effective practice in this area. A number of key challenges are identified which need to be tackled if the latest policy proposals for citizenship education are to lead to effective practice in the system of higher educational institutions in Ukraine. The relevance of the Concept for the Development of Civic Education in Ukraine is pointed out. The paper builds on the previous studies of civic education, acknowledges the need for a new study, and is efforts to get answers to response to the challenge of educating young people in changed contexts of democracy and civic participation. It was noted that education played a crucial role in focused efforts to build and mould a nation, not only economically, but also culturally and psychologically. The most important goal of education is preparation of young people for their role as good citizens. Be important today, how universities and institutions of higher learning in any civilised society will contribute to and fulfil their role and perform to society’s expectations of them in terms of citizenship. It is apparent that, given the university sectors hugely significant role in both the production, management and application of knowledge and in educating the next generation of leaders, universities are critical to the mission of promoting globally informed citizenship. A key challenge for modern education system is to design curricula that connect academic with civic learning, enable students to understand the public purposes of their discipline and prepare students for lives as active citizens, responsible disciplinary practitioners, professionals and leaders. It is apparent that, space needs to be found within higher education curricula for the concept of citizenship and for civic engagement. Modern system of higher education has a responsibility to help students develop skills and attributes that promote civically engaged citizens. A topic for prospective research could be an analysis of how differences in social processes in Ukraine and abroad can affect the effectiveness of the implementation of civic education.
