Forming responsible citizens in the euro-mediterranean region empowering youth as agents for sustainable human development

Accessing and obtaining a value-based quality education is the foundation for youth to become agents for sustainable development. Building on Amartya Sen’s capabilities approach as a basis for human-centred education policies, the MA thesis endeavours in an investigation on the role of citizenship education with respect to sustainable human development. The analysis and assessment of ideaborn’s “Forming Responsible Citizens” (FRC) experience in Tunisia highlight that citizenship education can be valuable as an instrument in itself as well as a methodology and behaviour applied to education in general, provided that it is anchored in a democratic educational ecosystem that is conducive of sustainable human development.
