European Commission callout for examples of projects on Democracy and Civic Engagement
If you have done important work of this kind, please tell us about it!
If you know other people who have done such work of high quality, please forward this request to them.
We are looking for good examples of such work that was/is implemented:
- Within and around primary schools (upper years, age of pupils >10) and (especially) in secondary schools (ISCED 1-3), general or vocational.
- Within and around formal, non-formal and/or informal education environments.
Share your good practice example through this form by 31 October 2025. You can write in any of the EU-27 official languages. Please select your language under the “Languages” section of the menu on the right-hand side of the screen.
Find out more about the Open Call for Good Practices here.
A selection of good practice examples will feature in the Compendium of Best Practices that the European Commission will publish and disseminate widely.
This request is the first step in the European Union’s 2-year project that started in June 2025:
Culture and Democracy Study and Peer Learning
School/Culture Collaborations for Civic Engagement and Critical Citizenship Education - How schools, artists and cultural organisations can work together to enhance young people’s democratic attitudes and their readiness to engage in civic and democratic life.
The project will generate knowledge and concrete guidance for policy and practice on this topic.
It is an initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, implemented by its contractor Visionary Analytics in cooperation with KEA European Affairs following an open Call for Tenders.
Your contribution could help inspire policy and practice in the EU and world-wide.
