The first outcome of the project is a comprehensive study and analysis focused on strategy papers and curricula related to value education. The analysis aims to identify the needs and requirements for value education in teacher education and schools, taking into consideration the specific requirements and demands. The study gathers information from international and national strategic papers, curricula and scientific papers, providing an overview of the development of value attitudes, critical thinking and didactic competencies of teacher students.

The analysis, which will be published as an open-access scientific paper, examines the implementation of value education for democracy in participating countries’ school systems, contributing to a better understanding of democratic value education across Europe. All three university partners contribute to the analysis by reviewing strategic papers and curricula in their respective languages and translating the results into English which will eventually be incorporated into the final, collaboratively created paper.

The analysis began on 02-02-2022 and is expected to conclude on 02-02-2023. The result will be published in English and disseminated through various channels, including publications, the internet and text-based resources.
