With COVID-19 crisis, the classrooms have become virtual places of learning and fostering a democratic school culture is equally important in an online teaching environment, while innovative approaches are more important than ever. With that aim, the action on Quality education for all in Bosnia and Herzegovina has prepared practical materials that are relevant for the current situation.

The Manual on teaching the competences for democratic culture online can be combined with a set of new lessons plans developed by the Council of Europe. Through the action on Quality education for all these plans were translated to local language and will serve as a useful guidance for teachers when preparing classes on various topics, such as Solidarity, Fake news, Cyber-bullying and many others.

These materials should help young learners discuss important issues arising out of the current health emergency. Each lesson plan is designed around a theme corresponding to one of the domains of Digital Citizenship and linked to the learning outcomes set out in the Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture.

The lesson plans are easy to use and flexible. They can be taught in a variety of distance-learning situations and adjusted to suit available e-learning platforms or devices, age of learners, local context, time on-line and level of digital skills. The simple format allows you to tailor the teaching and learning process to the needs of your learners, building on the tried and tested principles of Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education: dialogue, critical thinking, active and co-operative learning.

The action on “Quality education for all” is implemented under the joint European Union/Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022“.
