We are pleased to announce the 14th Annual CiCe Network Conference, the 8th CitizED Conference and the 1st Creating Citizenship Communities Conference, to be held at the University of York, England, 24 -26 May 2012.

This joint conference, under the theme: Creating Communities: Local, National and Global brings together the Children’s Identity and Citizenship in Europe Academic Network, (CiCe) a European network of academics and professionals funded by European Commission, with two other significant groups in the field of citizenship education: CitizED, a global network of academics and the project team of the Esmée Fairbairn funded initiative ‘Creating Citizenship Communities’.

The conference will have a focus on citizenship and identity with particular respect to community building. It aims to bring together staff involved in the education of pre- and in-service professionals who work with children and young people. Papers at the conference will range from research findings, theoretical discussions to analysis of practice.

We welcome all lecturers and researchers in universities and other higher education institutions with an interest in our themes, as well as those in NGOs, schools and policy fields.
