The project aims to develop a framework for assessment, with a focus on formative assessment, in the context of citizenship education across Europe.
ALiCE is funded by Erasmus+ programme KA220-SCH-Cooperation partnerships in school education.
In collaboration with experts from eight European countries, ALiCE investigates and reflects upon the diversity of how citizenship education is integrated into local curricula, which learning goals are put forward, and how assessment practices are and can be used to facilitate learning in citizenship education.
The optimal goal of ALiCE collaboration is to collect and connect existing practical knowledge of assessment practices on a learning platform for strengthening teachers’ capacity across Europe.
