Main Conference

It is our great pleasure to invite abstract submissions for the joint CiCea/CitizED conference Young People’s Citizenship and Education: Building Collaborations in Communities that will be held at the University of York, England, Thursday 14th to Saturday 16th May 2020. The conference is organised by two of the leading organisations promoting the teaching and research of Citizenship Education in Europe and the rest of the world.

The principal conference theme will explore young people’s citizenship and citizenship education within the context of collaborative communities. We welcome papers examining how and in what ways citizenship education can encourage young people to relate to, engage with, and participate in their communities. We would also encourage contributions which seek to analyse how citizenship education and educators develop community-based youth identities and forms of active citizenship.

We are also keen to receive papers focusing on all other aspects of citizenship education from around the world exploring curriculum design, pedagogy, youth identities, history education, and policy-making. The conference is supported by the journal Citizenship Teaching and Learning. Conference papers of good quality will be referred to the journal for consideration for publication.

As with previous CiCea and CitizED conferences, our intention is to host an international conference with insights and perspectives from around the world. We welcome individuals and groups (academic associations, professional bodies, charities, NGOs etc.) that represent a wide range of commitment to youth activism, engagement and education.

The Conference has as its’ on the ground local chair and scientific committee member, Dr. Andrew Peterson from the CitizED Society will coordinate the local conference organization at the University of York, in York United Kingdom. Keep an eye on this space for updates!

We invite you to submit abstracts for research papers, posters, symposium, and workshops that relate to this year's conference theme: "Young people’s citizenship and education: Building collaborations in communities".  Once again, we will also be offering interested presenters who would like to participate, but cannot physically be present, the opportunity to do a 'virtual paper'.  Research students, local NGO representatives, education and policy stalk-holders are also welcome to take the opportunity to apply and participate in the conference. All accepted and actualized papers, symposium, workshops, virtual papers and posters are eligible for review for inclusion in the Conference General Proceedings and the Conference Selected Papers.

If you wish to be considered for 2020 Conference, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words via the CiCea proposal link [see below] on or before Saturday 13^th December 2019. This conference accepts papers in English only.
