PB-Tools is a project designed for and in collaboration with teachers to support the introduction of citizenship education. Teachers are given free access to high-quality teaching materials accompanied by background information. These materials are based on academic research, take into account the key principles of contemporary citizenship education (controversy, problem-based and competence-based approaches), address current issues, and are suitable for citizenship education both as a standalone subject and as an interdisciplinary approach.
