The Project "1+1 Synergy for Democratic Culture" aims to strengthen the democratic culture at schools - referring to the Framework "Competences for Democratic Culture" developed by the Council of Europe.
Civic Education Teacher, as Civic Club Coordinators, team up with external Youth Worker in order to share professional experience, teaching skills and promote elements of non-formal education in the formal school sector. Therefore the project contributes to the professional development of all participants and encourages them to implement and apply their newly gained skills in their daily work at school through youth-led activities and awareness-raising campaigns.
