Dr. sc. Caroline Hornstein Tomić na Europskom festivalu građanskog obrazovanja (NECE Festival); Oslo, 2.-4. 9. 2025.
Dr. sc. Caroline Hornstein Tomić sudjelovala je u panel-diskusiji s njemačkim povjesničarom Philippom Blomom i Pedrom Caladom iz Zaklade Gulbenkian (Lisabon) na Europskom festivalu građanskog obrazovanja (NECE Festival) koji se održavao u Oslu od 2. do 4. rujna 2025.
Festival je okupio više od 250 stručnjaka za građansko obrazovanje, edukatora i aktivista iz cijele Europe i šire. Kroz predavanja, panel-diskusije, lekcije, action hubove i otvorene sesije, sudionici su istraživali ovogodišnju temu: nadu.
U vremenu kada demokratsko nazadovanje, polarizacija i geopolitička neizvjesnost preoblikuju društva, festival je stavio nadu u središte – ne kao pasivni optimizam, već kao aktivnu građansku vještinu i zajedničku predanost djelovanju.
NECE Festival 2025: HOPE organizirao je THE CIVICS Innovation Hub u suradnji s Europskim Wergeland centrom (EWC) i uz potporu Saveznog ureda za političko obrazovanje (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung / Federal Agency for Civic Education).

The festival brought together more than 250 civic educators, thinkers, and activists from across Europe and beyond. Through lectures, panel discussions, masterclasses, action hubs, and open sessions, participants explored this year’s theme: hope.
At a time when democratic backsliding, polarisation, and geopolitical uncertainty are reshaping societies, the festival placed hope at the centre—not as passive optimism, but as an active civic skill and a shared commitment to action.
The NECE Festival 2025: HOPE was organised by the CIVICS Innovation Hub in cooperation with the European Wergeland Centre (EWC) and supported by the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung / Federal Agency for Civic Education.
