Intensive and inspiring days at the DARE TrendsLab and General Assembly 2026 are behind us. The DARE members exchanged about practice and policy. They discussed the development of the DARE network which will look forward to the 25th anniversary in the next year. The citizenship-related competence framework currently developed as part of the EU Key Competences for Lifelong Learning was also the subject of lively discussion, as the general state of civil society in Europe (with most non-formal citizenship and human rights education providers as its part).
Also hard at work: the curatorial team for the Critical Youth Work (Un)Conference, which will take place in August at the European Youth Education and Meeting Centre in Weimar at the end of August 2026.
The lab began on the Tuesday after Pentecost and concluded on Friday, May 29, with the hybrid General Assembly.
Thanks to Jugendbildungsstätte Kurt Löwenstein for hosting us in Werftpfuhl (Germany) and to the team organising the TrendsLab around Georg Pirker (AdB)!
