Call for ‘Re-Visionaries’ Applications: Policy, Civic Education, and Intergenerational Dialogue

Jun 20

📣We are happy to announce a collaborative NECE Lab series dedicated to rethinking the critical role of intergenerational dialogue in civic education. THE CIVICS Innovation Hub & The Wellbeing Project join forces to create a space where we can discuss the diminishing role of elders in civic education and the challenges of modernizing traditional methods.

Join us in re-visioning the role of elders in nurturing civic values!

This series will occur in three parts:

I. Session, 12 September 2024, online, dedicated to barriers and enablers of intergenerational dialogue, focusing on the disconnect between traditional and modern civic education methods.

II. Session, 9 October 2024, online, will involve a deeper reflection on fundamental questions like “How should we live together?” and the evolving role of elders in society.

III. Session, 16 November 2024, in-person, at the NECE Festival in Tirana, Albania, focusing on policy-driven design to develop concepts for intergenerational cooperation and elder-led empowerment in civic education.

💡We invite researchers, policymakers, civic educators, community organizers, activists, thought leaders, non-profits, social entrepreneurs, cultural workers, and university students to apply. Participants will get the chance to connect with a diverse group of experts and peers, and help shape policy recommendations impacting civic education at various levels.

Make sure to apply on time, the spots available are limited. The selected participants will receive €600 to cover travel, housing, and conference expenses to attend the NECE Festival in Tirana.

🗓️Deadline for applications: 14 July 2024 (11:59 pm CET).
