NECE – Networking European Citizenship Education – Conference
“Crossing Borders. Migration and Citizenship Education in Europe”

10-12 November 2016, Zagreb, Croatia (Lisinski Concert Hall)

Against the background of more and more pressing migration flows deeply affecting the state of the European Union and its neighbours, NECE 2016 will aim at two areas: Firstly, we will look at the ongoing European response to the issue of migration and integration including the divisions within and between European societies. Secondly the conference will discuss how citizenship education should react to the polarising debate and the controversies about migration, diversity and identity, which have been triggered by the new wave of migration since summer 2015.

Your participation in debating these complex issues is needed and most welcome. A rich variety of sessions and panels will enable participants to actively shape the conference. Please find further details at www.nece.eu.

Conference language is English (without simultaneous translation). There is no conference fee. The organisers do not cover travel and accommodation costs but you can find information about the possibility of financial support and a list of hotels near the venue at www.nece.eu.

Online registration for the NECE 2016 conference in Zagreb is open now!

Education at a Glance is the authoritative source for information on the state of education around the world. It provides key information on the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; the financial and human resources invested in education; access, participation and progression in education; and the learning environment and organisation of schools.

The 2016 edition introduces a new indicator on the completion rate of tertiary students and another one on school leaders. It provides more trend data and analysis on diverse topics, such as: teachers’ salaries; graduation rates; expenditure on education; enrolment rates; young adults who are neither employed nor in education or training; class size; and teaching hours. The publication examines gender imbalance in education and the profile of students who attend, and graduate from, vocational education.

The report covers all 35 OECD countries and a number of partner countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Lithuania, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and South Africa).
