The handbook "Training paths for active citizenship", is the final project output of the project "LANCES - Learning in Action for a New Citizenship Education System" and it is now available free of charge. It is a collaborative project from institutes in Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Romania and Germany.

The project aimed to elaborate and to experiment with using innovative training paths for citizenship and participation in Italy, Germany and Bulgaria. The handbook contains the main results of LANCES testing experience and it is meant as a useful set of methodological guidelines for teachers, trainers, facilitators, mediators, learners and all interested actors.

In this perspective, the authors hope that this handbook can contribute to solicit the specific "learning" and "teaching" motivations of all its potential users, as well as activate further networking processes among the project stakeholders for a fruitful mutual exchange of innovative practices also beyond the project life-style for the benefit of the local communities.
Its a pity that the material is not fully included in the handbook, and the material could be more inclusive when it comes to integrate social development as a wholeness including diversity, but it delivers a lot of interesting material.

An important emphasis is layed down on scenario workshops.
