However, these values are currently challenged. The covid19 pandemic has increased already existing tendencies related with disinformation (mainly coming from the social media) and lack of trust in democratic processes. The role of education and training, and more specifically citizenship education is very important in addressing these challenges. However, as the Eurydice Report \u00abCitizenship Education at School in Europe 2017\u00bb shows, citizenship education is addressed mainly on a cognitive level as part of the curriculum both in relation with the teaching and in relation with the assessment (knowledge of the institutions of the political system, environmental awareness, analysis of issues discussed in the society etc).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-35f38da elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"35f38da\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1208fb\" data-id=\"a1208fb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a89534 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a89534\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The project is very actively supporting civic engagement and the skills for democratic participation. Europe is currently facing serious challenges which are mostly related to a decreased interest in democratic participation. The democratic participation is being gradually replaced by a participation mediated by social media which are characterised by the provision of a big amount of information at a superficial level. On the other hand, effective democratic participation requires constructive communication, critical thinking and social responsibility. In order to acquire these competencies, citizenship education &#8211; especially in the school level &#8211; is crucial. However, citizenship education in Europe faces different problems.<\/p><p>Nowadays, that educational systems are focused on the delivery of skills to the students related with their employability, many times citizenship education is considered as a less important subject. Also, usually citizenship education is limited in cognitive aspects (such as learning about government, democratic institutions, national allegiance, the legal system, national constitutional and political history the responsibilities of citizens etc), fact which does not allow the ownership of the values from the part of the students. Furthermore, as also the Eurydice report underlines, the training of teachers in relation <br \/>with the citizenship education is very limited.<\/p><p>The project is proposing the introduction of art for the improvement of citizenship education in Europe, fact which will allow on the one hand to enhance the acquisition of social and civic competences, to foster knowledge, understanding and ownership of values and fundamental rights and on the other hand to enhance critical thinking among students and teachers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9446e8f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9446e8f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c4b3c0\" data-id=\"5c4b3c0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6965f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6965f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Art is providing to people and especially to young people attending high school, the chance to approach their own experiences or sensitive issues in a safe and creative way.
