The Civic Education Lecturers Association (CELA) invites abstracts for the 2015 International Conference on Citizenship and Civic Education in Post-socialist Societies to be held in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Deadline: March 30, 2015
Open to: Educators, Researchers, Advanced Doctoral Students

The main goal of the conference is to invite educators, researchers, policy-makers, and other interested individuals to explore, among others, related theoretical frameworks, educational policies, re-conceptualization of the notion of citizenship and civic values in the context of regime transformation and democratic development after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Everyone interested in the topic is encouraged to send their abstracts.
We invite abstracts for oral and/or pre-organized panel presentations on one or more of the following themes:
· Civic culture, consciousness, and identity and their transformation trajectories
· Civic education methods and civic curricula (knowledge, skills, values, etc.)
· Civic education: policy-making and policy implementation
· Ways of civic engagement: from voting to community work
· Minorities: integration or segmentation?
· Other
In order to be considered, please submit your CV and your abstract (250 – 300 words) in MS Word (.doc) format by March 30, 2015 to the following email: info@cela.ge
In the subject line of the email, please put “2015 CONFERENCE.”

Selected papers will be published as conference proceedings. Working languages will be English, Russian and Georgian.
