Diversités et convergences franco-britanniques : formations et pratiques d’éducation à la citoyenneté active en classe et hors classe

The main aim of this summary is to highlight the key features of the Lille-Leeds Comenius Regio project, 2013-2015 Citizenship In action through Voice and Influence of Children (CIVIC), by way of comparison. The French Report on the Lille-Leeds CIVIC project contains a detailed description of these features and puts them into context: Diversités et convergences franco-britanniques : formations et pratiques d’éducation à la citoyenneté active en classe et hors classe (Lemoine, 2015, 52 pages).This summary is intended to provide a wide community (of teachers, head teachers, and educational advisors) with avenues for exploring the conception of educational resources in France and Britain, enabling them to deal with issues of citizenship – whether they arise within school or outside school. Descriptive in nature, this summary contains nonetheless some analytical aspects. It does not include any injunctions for implementation or transfer from one country to another of practices experienced or observed. The features discussed herein must be considered in therespective socio-educational contexts specific to Lille and Leeds.This document has been translated into English by Leeds City Council’s Translation Unit.The French version of this summary will be disseminated by Lille’s International Relations Department and Office for Educational Activities
