It is achieved through activities that aim to develop one’s democratic attitudes, values, and behaviors.5 Civic education can take many forms, including formal, school-based learning, and non-formal learning outside of school systems; it can also take place against a range of democratic landscapes.

The European Youth Cards Association | Promoting Youth Participation

The European Youth Card Association (EYCA) has 40 member organizations in 38 countries. All are committed to promoting youth mobility and active citizenship for young people. EYCA member organizations believe that the young people they work with are not citizens of the future, they are citizens of Europe today and, as such, should be fully involved in decisions and developments that affect them. Member organizations develop and promote participation opportunities for young people – opportunities that give young people the chance to influence their communities, organizations at local and national levels, and what happens in society at large.

This process requires young people to be involved in all levels and stages of program, policy, campaign, and initiative development, including all stages of design, implementation, and evaluation; this is especially true of those programs that directly affect their lives.
