Learning active participatory citizenship in Thessaloniki: Implications and impact of mainstream and support educational activities for socially vulnerable young adults (original) (raw)

This event took place in the city of Pecs, Hungary on the 20th of September 2018, under the auspices of UNESCO. The websiite is available at http://ptf18.ckh.hu/conference-call. My presentation "Learning active participatory citizenship in Thessaloniki: implications and impact of mainstream and support educational activities for socially vulnerable young adults" was based on the research results of the EduMAP project (Horizon2020-Nr 693388) and discussed the widely recognised yet weakened position of active participatory citizenship in the current debate on the responsibility of adult education at local and community level, and the impact of learning initiatives for socially vulnerable young adults (16-30 y.o long-term unemployed, NEETs, Roma, homeless) in the Greek city of Thessaloniki. Some preliminary results from primary analysis in AE structures that provide APC programmes to VYAs were presented.
