Active European citizenship is one of the most important attributes of European integration and inclusion, but is also one of the most diffi cult subjects to teach. The TEACH project provides a training programme to help adult educators overcome exactly this problem. Active citizenship is considered to be one of the most vital factors for European development and there is a strong demand for ways to teach and provide training in this fi eld. The project Teaching European Active Citizenship (TEACH) has developed just such a training programme for adult education professionals. The main objectives of the programme are to further train people teaching active citizenship in non-formal adult education, and to provide participants with an analysis of skills related to active citizenship. Participants will also learn invaluable tools to teach these skills and come to understand best-practice examples of active citizenship throughout Europe. The training materials are a combination of lectures, workshops, discussion panels and case studies. The courses, over fi ve days, are in the format of face-to-face training, and also include a preparatory phase during which participants receive study materials and access to an interactive web platform. The programme is divided into diff erent modules and the materials are succinct and appropriate to the subject. After the course, the web platform remains available for follow-up discussions and for continued use by course lecturers. The TEACH project gives Europe a practical and tangible approach to provide training in the diffi cult, but nevertheless extremely important subject of active European citizenship. This will have a direct impact on mobility throughout Europe because it is necessary for citizens to have a deep knowledge of their rights and responsibilities if they are to develop them.
