Location: European Parliament, 1, avenue du Président Robert Schuman, CS 91024 / F-67070 Strasbourg Cedex

A conference organised by the german Federal Agency for Civic Education, the Institute voor Publiek en Politiek  (the Netherlands) and the Austrian Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture.

The conference is under the auspices of the European Parliament.

The European networking conference from 11–13 June, 2008, is planned to provide EU multipliers in the field of citizenship education with access to information and opportunities for exchange in the areas of existing and planned models, measures and projects for mobilising voters in 2009

EUNET will be present with an information stand which could, and should, also be used by our members.

At the same time, the conference will provide a platform for participants interested in pursuing common projects to meet and discuss plans in more detail. In addition to taking part in the discussion of concrete models, participants will also have the chance to more closely examine election topics with politicians and academics.

The primary aim of the conference is to increase transparency for existing and planned models and to promote European cooperative projects. The conference should therefore not only act as a catalyst for European networking and the Europe anisation of citizenship education, but also provide a stage for the work being done in the field. Furthermore, the conference is aimed at European participants in the field who are interested in developing their own measures for voter mobilisation in the run-up to the 2009 elections.
Multipliers who will be implementing the measures and models – for example, teaching it as part of a school curriculum – are also being asked to take part.
