Do you want to know what EDC is?; do you want to know what EDC includes?; or do you want to know what the aim of EDC is? - than the EDC website of the Council of Europe is the place in the Web to visit. It undoubtedly constitutes the outstanding portal for all EDC-related questions.

Description of Contents

Sections about EDC and EDC-related activities

Here you can find among others:

• an extensive EDC glossary including a short but very useful bibliography;

• information about the EDC project of the Council of Europe and its development since 1997;

• information about the Council of Europe, its diretorates and bodies, involvement in EDC etc.

Moreover, there is an own section devoted to the activities within the framework of the European Year of Citizenship through Education (EYCE 2005) which are compiled in a huge and easily searchable database. A clip of the search-form is shown below.

Resources

The Council of Europe's website, however, doesn't only inform about EDC-related activities, it also offers an amazing amount of more or less directly usable material and publications compiled in the sub-sections "Documents and publications" of the section "Resources" (see screenshot below).

It's impossible to describe the variety of texts, materials, reports and studies on EDC which are compiled in this virtual library! That is why you should really take the time and explore the "documents and publications"-subsection by yourself. If you are interested in questions concerning teaching EDC, you should have a closer look at

• "Education materials",

• "The EDC Pack" and

• the various subsections of the "Subject"-area, for example Media or Practices, Methods & Strategies.

To sum up: the very comprehensive EDC website of the Council of Europe undoubtedly is constituing THE portal on all EDC-related questions which you should always use as one of your main starting-points when searching for teaching material for EDC!
