Formal and Non Formal Education
The Division for Formal and Non-Formal Education works on sustaining democracy through quality citizenship education based on the Council of Europe’s core values.
We co-operate with all levels of education through the Council of Europe’s intergovernmental programme, country-specific projects and networks based on the achievements and strong acquis of the Council of Europe to prepare learners to live as active citizens in democratic societies.
