Measuring and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Active Citizenship Education Programmes to Support Disadvantaged Youth
The current Special Issue has been inspired by the Seventh Annual Conference on Citizenship
Education that was held in Roehampton University London, on 26–27 September
2019. This conference explored how citizenship education can promote young people’s
civic and political engagement, particularly those of disadvantaged backgrounds. Discussions
focused on the effectiveness of diverse formal and informal educational programmes
and activities across Europe. Contributions to the conference drew on various theoretical
arguments, utilised a wide range of methods and techniques, and concluded with practical
strategies. As editors, we prioritised the contributions of early career researchers and
those that highlight helpful strategies to improve social equality and provide equitable
distribution of learning resources among underprivileged groups. After two years’ close
collaboration among academic editors, journal editors and authors, this Special Issue is
finally released in 2021 with seven papers.
