The professor of philosophy, ethics and logic at the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic visited the UFRO School of Education and met with students of the programs Spanish and Communication Teaching and Mathematics Teaching in order to share his experience in civic education in Europe and the role of the professor in education.

Within the framework of the Civic Education class, which is part of the new curriculum of the study programs in education of the Universidad de La Frontera, more than a hundred students of these programs participated in this activity.

The professor Nenad Milicic was in charge of this activity which was called “Mission, vision and position of civic education in the scholar system in a democratic state, experience in Europe”.

During the activity, the Serbian professor referred to the context of the topics related to the relevance of the training of citizens in Europe and explained the associated conceptualizations. He also talked about the experience Europe made during the introduction of these subjects into the educational system.

Nenad Milicic pointed out that he is working on different projects that require international cooperation. This is why he is interested in consolidating his work with the Universidad de La Frontera, since it is very similar to the University of South Bohemia (Czech Republic), which he works for.

This way, the professor´s visit led to an interaction between students and teachers and created a dialogue about the similarities and differences between the educational systems, in Europe as well as in America, and Chile in particular. It was an important contribution to the civic education of the students who participate in this class during this semester and an enriching debate that strengthens the topics that are contemplated in the annual planning.
