“…. Since many of these features are contested in Northern Ireland, an important feature of the citizenship curriculum was the attempt to focus on the processes of citizenship in order to provide young people with the concepts, language and ideas that might allow them to participate in constructing what it meant to be a citizen in Northern Ireland in the twenty-first century.” (Gallagher and Duffy, 2016: 541).…”

Twenty years ago, Northern Ireland’s previously prominent presence in the headlines of the yellow press dwindled to virtual non-existence. As the region’s three-decade long conflict went into abeyance and the daily death tally dropped, the vagaries of the region’s little-understood, political tensions were assigned to little-read columns hidden deep inside broadsheets. Brexit has, however, re-exposed the deep scars and political acrimony that still blight Northern Ireland. Northern Irish schools have seen the introduction of series of educational initiatives aimed at ameliorating enduring inter-community hostility, including the creation of a model of citizenship education designed to enhance pupils’ political understanding and literacy. Drawing on recent survey data on the attitudes and perspectives of 16-year-olds, this paper explores how citizenship is being delivered in schools in Northern Ireland and exposes young people’s level of engagement with current political issues, including the possibility of a united Ireland. Although results are largely in line with expectations, there are some indications that this generation may not be simply marching in step with the same drumbeat that has been followed by generations of their forebearers.

“…Furthermore, in divided societies, where most young people are educated in segregated schools, the formal study of civics occurs during high school. Informal education, on the other hand, takes place in the community, in schools and in the military (Lemish, 2003;Gallagher & Duffy, 2016;Goren & Yemini, 2018;Duffy et al, 2022). However, the curricula in the separate schools are comparable in terms of the inclusion of topics relevant to citizenship such as identity, equality, and participation (Niens & Chastenay, 2008;Papworth, 2020).…”

The paper investigates the effect of active civic education using project-based learning (PBL) on attitudes towards civic engagement in a heterogeneous society. The study used a qualitative research approach involving a content analysis of responses to open-ended questionnaires, students' reports and weekly discussions with the students. The study examines whether the PBL teaching approach, which was developed in medical schools, can be an effective tool for use in civic studies to promote civic engagement of college students in a multi-ethnic society. Active civic education matters; it prompted non-Jewish minority students in Israeli society to consider future civic engagement, and improved their understanding of the concepts of accountability, transparency, civil and human rights, and the ability of individuals in a democracy to obtain answers from their government. It also underscored their ability and obligation to contribute to their communities.

“…Politically, it often emphasizes civic symbols and rites, such as national flags, national anthems, and political institutions. The civic curriculum should emphasize the civic process to equip young people with concepts, vocabulary, and ideas that enable them to participate in developing what they want (Gallagher and Duffy 2016). b) The concept of globalization After World War II, countries sought to grow closer to avoid conflict.…”
