Welcome to Citizens of Europe

This website is for students and teachers of Citizenship Studies at Key Stages 3 and 4.

The site builds on the teaching and learning material contained in Hodder Education's Citizenship Education for KS3 (Second Edition) with special focus on

  • 1. Rules, fairness, rights and responsibilities
  • 2. Communities and identities
  • 5. Liberty and freedom
  • 6. Parliamentary democracy

At KS4 the site supports Hodder Education's Citizenship Studies by Mike Mitchell with focus on

  • Life in Modern Britain
  • Rights and Responsibilities
  • Politics and Participation
  • Taking Citizenship Action

The site also draws on resources provided by the Association of Citizenship Teaching at sessions of CPD and annual conferences. At its conference on July 3, 2026 there were workshops on media literacy, financial education and prospects for the new curriculum expected in 2027.

For teachers, there are lesson plan resources that include talking points (see updated Stolen Artefacts) and worksheets, suggestions for class activities, and role plays. 

For students there are facts and quizzes, presented in a lively and colourful way and aimed at students of all abilities.
