Abstract

Over the past decade there has been increasing policy attention in many contemporary liberal democracies to developing young people as active citizens. Schools and informal educators provide programmes of citizenship education, and youth workers are increasingly charged with implementing projects that strengthen young people’s political, social and moral engagement with local, national and global issues.
