<p>For information on competences required, training activities and assessment tools for education for democratic citizenship</p><p>The Council of Europe has been protecting children’s digital rights, and fostering opportunities for children’s educational and cultural development in the digital environment for over a quarter of a century. Most recently it has focused on actions designed to empower children as “active digital citizens”, building on the Council of Europe framework of competences for democratic culture. The Reference framework aims to prepare citizens for “living together as equals in culturally diverse democratic societies”.In 2016, the Steering Committee for Educational Policy and Practice of the Council of Europe launched a new intergovernmental project, Digital Citizenship Education. The aim of the project is to help reshape the role education plays in enabling children and young people to acquire the competences they need to participate actively and responsibly in democratic society as digital citizens, both online and offline.</p><p>This present publication is the work of the following members of the Digital Citizenship Education expert group: Pascale Raulin-Serrier (France), Alessandro Soriani (Italy), Olena Styslavska (Poland), Vitor Tomé (Portugal) and was edited by Ted Huddleston (United Kingdom).</p>
