European citizenship
EU citizenship is not a passport; it is a set of rights, duties and shared democratic values.
Linked headings
Field practices
This page compares field practices from the e-books under four headings: social, digital, green and civic. The aim is to see, at a glance, how the same work appears among the partners. The wording is from the e-books.
Common ground
Rights, responsibilities, participation
Read the network from the centre outward. The common ground sits in the middle: rights, responsibilities, participation. The three gold rings are the Toolkit’s three fields. The four coloured nodes are the field headings. The gold dots are the e-book practices.

🇳🇱 Digital citizenship

How Pallas embeds media literacy
Not a separate subject: it is woven through the curriculum. First year (bridge class): laptops, safe internet, responsible social media, basic digital skill, online risk. Mentor lessons across the years: netiquette, cyberbullying, social media and self-image, privacy and data, critical reading of online content.
Economic participation is increasingly digital, so economic and digital citizenship are one model.

Definition in the e-book: upcycling is a form of recycling in which discarded materials become new products of equal or higher value. It questions linear consumption and throwaway culture.
