| Description |
CiCe (Children's Identity and Citizenship in Europe) is a network of professionals in education with members from 29 European states and diverse academic disciplines who share a professional interest in the ways in which issues of citizenship and identity are learned about and taught, and how those teaching the teachers, early childhood workers, social pedagogues, etc, themselves learn to deal with these issues. CiCe is funded by the SOCRATES programme of the European Commission, and is currently in its fifth year of operation.
Each year CiCe holds an international conference around a specific theme and welcomes delegates from both within and outside the network. In 2003 our conference will be held at the Universidade do Minho in Braga, a historic city some 35km. north of Oporto in Portugal. The dates are 8-10 May, and the theme will be A EUROPE OF MANY CULTURES: the sub-themes on which papers are invited papers are
ˇ Culture and citizenship education in Europe
ˇ Cross-professional issues and human rights education
ˇ Equal opportunities
ˇ Multi-lingual and multi-cultural perspectives and contexts.
Speakers at the opening plenary session will include
ˇ Professor Roberto Carneiro, currently President of the Study Centre on Peoples and Cultures at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and a former Portuguese Minister for Education, and
ˇ Professor Márta Fülöp of Szegedi Tudományegyetem and Szechenyi Professor of Social Psychology at The Institute for Psychology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
You can find full details of how to submit papers and / or book a place in the Conference section of our web site and include a facility to submit on-line. Alternatively, we can be contacted directly and we shall be pleased to post or email you the forms.
