Welcome to Citizens of Europe

This website is for students and teachers of Citizenship Studies at Key Stages 3 and 4.

The site builds on the teaching and learning material contained in Hodder Education's Citizenship Education for KS3 (Second Edition) with special focus on

  • 1. Rules, fairness, rights and responsibilities
  • 2. Communities and identities
  • 5. Liberty and freedom
  • 6. Parliamentary democracy

At KS4 the site supports Hodder Education's Citizenship Studies by Mike Mitchell with focus on

  • Life in Modern Britain
  • Rights and Responsibilities
  • Politics and Participation
  • Taking Citizenship Action

For teachers, there are lesson plan resources that include talking points (see updated Stolen Artefacts) and worksheets, suggestions for class activities, and role plays. 

For students there are facts and quizzes, presented in a lively and colourful way and aimed at students of all abilities.

The information is kept updated.

At a CPD session in October 2024 there was a report on a student survey on the impact of GCSE citizenship on attitudes to democracy and politics.
