Justin Rami & John Lalor from the School of Education Studies publish a second book exploring teacher competencies relating to citizenship and the development of identity. The second part of this series (Volume two) relates closely to specific country contexts and examines comparables and competencies generated from the research data as well as discussion about the research process.

Each Volume can be read independently, but for a greater understanding of the themes and key concepts it is advised that both are read together.

These two booklets are structured as Volumes 1 & 2. The working team responsible for researching and writing them come from five member states within the European Union: Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Spain & Sweden. The authors were asked to prepare guidance for CiCe member institutions and other Universities/Colleges on what specific competencies in Citizenship Education and Identity might be included in 1st & 2nd cycle courses that educate/train professionals who will work with children/young people. A secondary aspect of the booklets was to show how the ‘Tuning Principles’; could be applied to develop Specific Competencies for undergraduate and graduate cycle programmes that relate to Citizenship Education & Identity with respect to young people. The authors approached this specifically in relation to Teacher Educators, and after an initial we decided to work together to address this without being constricted by the Bologna Cycle system. Teacher Education is an anomaly within this context, and they decided to produce two booklets.
