The third concrete result
European Citizenship Education Programme
SQUARE is not a booklet. It is a programme: eight modules, five citizenship pillars, a toolset, trainer training, monitoring and evaluation, and open educational resources. It aims to strengthen young people not merely as users of digital technology, but as critical, safe and active digital citizens who know their rights, responsibilities and Europe’s shared democratic values.
Erasmus+ frame
This education kit is the third concrete result (PR3) of the Erasmus+ KA220-YOU DCCEC project. The programme strengthens young people’s European citizenship, digital competence and active participation.
Target group
The direct users are trainers, teachers and youth workers. The training is delivered to young people aged 14–18; families take part in the learning process.
Learning approach
The method is non-formal education: collaborative group work, discussion, field practice and digital tools. Family, trainer and young person form one learning triangle.
Funding and visibility
Co-funded by the European Union. Form ID KA220-YOU-CD412358. Project number 2024-1-TR01-KA220-YOU-000246063.
