At NECE Labs, our primary objective is to promote and strengthen interdisciplinary and transnational collaboration in civic education. We achieve this by embracing a multi-perspective approach that focuses on essential civic competences. Through facilitating meaningful partnerships and fostering in-depth discussions among civic educators, practitioners, and experts from various disciplines and professions, we encourage mutual learning, knowledge exchange, and the co-creation of innovative tools for effective civic education.
