Lithuania

A virtual school of citizenship 

In Lithuania we work to develop a virtual school of citizenship.

The project aims to:

  • Provide an open-access interactive website with teaching and learning resource aimed at teachers and school students. 
  • Raise awareness among teachers about ways of enhancing the development of citizenship competences of learners.  
  • Facilitate the exchange of best practices on regional and local levels, both among partner institutions and education professionals, primarily in Latvia, Lithuania, and Norway. 

EWC has a consultancy role in the project, with the aim of promoting it and ensuring that the resources and workshops are developed and implemented according to CoE principles, values, and approaches.
