Against the background of a global “refugee crisis” deeply affecting the state of the European Union and its neighbours, NECE 2016, organised in cooperation with LLLPlatform member DARE Network, will aim at two areas: firstly, it will look at the ongoing European response to the issue of migration including the divisions within and between European societies. Secondly, participants will be called to 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. The Conference will take place on 10-12 November in Zagreb, Croatia.
