No. 3 (2008): CLaD – CiCe: Childhood, Learning and Didactics (CLaD) and Children’s Identity and Citizenship Education (CiCe)

This issue of EDUCARE is our first all-English publication (2008:3). The articles have been selected and edited from papers submitted after the conference Citizenship Education in Society: A Challenge for the Nordic Countries, 4th – 5th October 2007 at Malmö University, organized by the Children’s Identity and Citizenship in Europe thematic network (CiCe). The first three papers were originally presented at a Symposium within the conference – “Childhood, Learning and Didactics” (CLaD). Jens Qvortrup was the invited keynote speaker to this session. Annika Månsson’s as well as Nanny Hartsmar’s and Maria Sandström’s articles which follow represent some of the breadth and depth of CLaD as a field of research at Malmö University. Another strong presence at Education, Malmö, is Sports Science. Tomas Peterson’s article provides an example from this area. The final word is given to one of the other CiCe keynote speakers, Alistair Ross, on “Human rights and education for citizenship, society and identity.”
