The Students as Digital Civic Engagers (SDCE) consortium is glad to announce the official publication of the Guide to Digital Civic Engagement and of the Digital Civic Engagement Toolkit.

The tools represent the first two outputs of this EU-funded project coordinated by the University of Vienna, in which eucen participates as full partner. 

The Guide to Digital Civic Engagement aims to respond to the question: What is digital civic engagement (DCE) and how can it be integrated on different levels of higher education (policy, teaching, and learning)? It is a research-based resource, addressed to teachers, trainers, and researchers interested in implementing digital civic engagement education and explores how this can be integrated at different levels of higher education institutions (HEIs). It can be downloaded on the project website from the resources section and is available in English, Estonian, German and Portuguese. 

The Digital Civic Engagement Toolkit is the second output of the project and provides practical guidance and tools for HEI educators wishing to incorporate digital civic engagement activities into their curricula or teaching strategies, with a particular focus on increasing their confidence in using digital tools. The Toolkit is downloadable in English for free at this link and is also available in German, Portuguese, and Estonian.
