Character Education in Europe: Challenges and Opportunities
Verónica Fernández, Tom Harrison, Kristján Kristjánsson, Roland Bernhard
Character Education in Europe: Challenges and Opportunities provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of character and virtue education across various European nations. The book explores the theoretical foundations, pedagogical practices, and unique cultural contexts that shape character education in countries such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Estonia, Portugal, Slovakia, and Spain. By synthesizing insights from academic networks, researchers, and practitioners, the work examines how character education can address contemporary societal issues, including environmental sustainability, digital technology, polarization, and the needs of individuals facing illness. The collection acts as a roadmap for developing holistic, phronesis-based character education, offering recommendations for policymakers, educators, and institutions dedicated to fostering character development in diverse educational environments.
