This project focuses on evaluating the impact of informal learning on active citizenship, led by CESO and various partner organizations across Europe. It aims to assess citizenship competencies through innovative methodologies and micro-projects that target marginalized and disadvantaged groups. The initiative seeks to enhance understanding of citizenship in individual contexts, emphasizing cognitive, activity-related, and affective dimensions. Through engaging diverse community members, the project fosters collaboration and develops a flexible evaluation framework to ensure effective learning outcomes.
