Have a look at polis – Annual Report 2021!

The annual report of polis – the Austrian Centre for Citizenship Education in Schools offers an insight into the wide-ranging work of polis. The Corona pandemic was and is omnipresent, so in 2021, among other things, an issue of the teacher’s magazine on “public health” and a dossier on “mandatory vaccination as controversial issue” appeared.

Since 2021, polis has come up with two new formats: a podcast for citizenship education as well as an online mini-lecture series on European citizenship education were launched.

In addition, polis is involved in European cooperation projects:

• In the REDE project, a handbook “Resilience against Anti-Democratic Tendencies through Education. Competences for Democratic Culture in European Social and Youth Work“ was published.
• In the CITIZED project, an innovative set of tools is being developed to support the broad implementation of civic education in European secondary schools.
• And in the framework of the EU Democracy Rally, a tool will also be developed to strengthen the democratic competences of young people.
• Democracy & Puppetry establishes a link between citizenship education and cultural education.
