Publisher's Synopsis
This fascinating study examines young people's understanding across Europe of the relationship between the individual and society: their views on social inclusiveness, tolerance of diversity and exclusion. It looks at ethnicity, social friendships and relationships, and at children's understanding of the issues of citizenship - power, justice, rights and responsibilities - in a number of European nation states. The book is the fourth in a series on current developments and research. Published in association with CiCe - the European Union Thematic Network Programme 'Children's Identity and Citizenship in Europe' - the volumes offer reflection, analysis and contexualisation of recent findings, locate these in pedagogic practice, and point to their educational implications.
