Abstract:

In an increasingly digitalised world, understanding how to navigate online spaces safely, responsibly and critically is essential for all citizens. The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe Recommendation on developing and promoting digital citizenship education (DCE) provides a vital road map for equipping learners with these skills across formal, non-formal and informal settings.

This report sheds light on how states across Europe are implementing the recommendation, highlighting practical approaches to embedding digital citizenship education across schools, communities and beyond. It reveals the progress made, the gaps that remain and the ways in which governments, educators and stakeholders are working together to foster digital literacy, inclusion and participation.

Designed for policy makers, educators and anyone involved in shaping digital learning, this review offers valuable insights and recommendations to help build a more inclusive, safe and democratic digital future for all.
