Curriculum, Culture and Citizenship Education in Wales

Abstract

This series will engage with the theoretical and practical debates regarding citizenship, human rights education, social inclusion, and individual and group identities as they relate to the role of higher and adult education on an international scale. Books in the series will consider hopeful possibilities for the capacity of higher and adult education to enable citizenship, human rights, democracy and the common good, including emerging research and interesting and effective practices. It will also participate in and stimulate deliberation and debate about the constraints, barriers and sources and forms of resistance to realizing the promise of egalitarian Civil Societies. The series will facilitate continued conversation on policy and politics, curriculum and pedagogy, review and reform, and provide a comparative overview of the different conceptions and approaches to citizenship education and democracy around the world. If you have a proposal for the series you would like to discuss please contact: Jason Laker,

Edukacja obywatelska w Anglii. Od polityki Partii Pracy do Brexitu – wybrane konteksty polityczne, społeczne i edukacyjne
