Dínamo and its partners [please check who are they below] is developing since the beginning of 2014 the international project 'EDC for All - Qualifying and Mainstreaming Education for Democratic Citizenship within Europe', co-funded by the Transfer of Innovation action of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission.
The project aims at improving the quality and attractiveness of Democratic Citizenship Education by transferring innovative practices and tools in this field.
Its main dimensions are:
- The translation, adaptation and dissemination into Portuguese and German contexts of 3 manuals of the Council of Europe [Have your say! Charter for All! & Charter for All! - Guidelines for Educators]
- The development of a new EDC game, based in the Non Formal Education approach and focused in promoting youth participation and democratic citizenship of young people and adults normally excluded to participation cycles
- The implementation in Portugal of an EDC training centre, based in the experience of other NFE training centres at local and international level in Europe
The game dimension [2] of the project is planned in the following way
- An European state of art analysis in order to understand which best practice are already being implemented and which organizations can share experience in this field [on-going]
- An international expert seminar in order to define the core concept of the game [July 2014, Portugal]
- The production of the first version of the game [2014]
- The test phase of the game in different context in Portugal and Germany and in the framework of other international trainings and seminar [2014-2015]
- The review phase of the game [2015]
- The final production [2nd half of 2015]
