Education for human rights and citizenship: the challenges of inter-generational justice

The International Conference for Education and Democratic Citizenship (ICEDC) addresses issues of rights and responsibilities in a globalising world.

The 13th ICEDC conference will consider how education policy, practice and education professionals including teachers can respond to these challenges.

Intergenerational justice, an aim of the SDGs, considers mechanisms of power and how in most societies children and young people struggle to make their voices heard in formal political mechanisms and decision-making processes that affect them.

Young people are prominent in the Council of Europe’s campaigns against hate speech and abuse on social media. Climate change, terrorism, hate speech and xenophobia confront them in the starkest terms.

The ICEDC invites papers that look afresh at education for democratic citizenship and human rights in these challenging times, including digital citizenship. The call for papers from a variety of disciplines is open until 11 March 2019.
