Participative platforms will be used with students for different scenarios including fact-checking, smart-voting, and parliamentary monitoring. The approaches proposed by the Knight Foundation (2015) will be adapted to provide a set of metrics and surveys that can be used to measure the relationship between digitally-enabled participatory tools and democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NEXUS aims at innovating the civic educational process resulting in increased participation of students in their communities. As part of this innovation, a MOOC on Civic education will be developed for students with a migrant background, focussing on Civic education micro-learning units. Subsequently, a knowledge-sharing platform (building on open educational resources and practices) for civic educators will be developed. It will focus on migration, with guidelines for HEIs on student civic engagement in the form of a strategic framework that will emphasise how the social inclusion needs of migrant students can be addressed. Finally, the notion of Civics will be re-written to version 4.0, connecting students to institutions in the digital age. An inventory of digital tools for Open Democracy and digital citizenship education will be compiled, together with a handbook for educators on civic education for a digital age.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NEXUS project:\u00a0PromotiNg thE neXus of migrants throUgh active citizenShip\u00a0 is an ERASMUS+ project (2019-1-ES01-KA203-065861), running from 2019 to 2022, focuses on empowering students (especially migrants) to exercise their rights, uphold human values, and contribute constructively to the society around them and the global community in general.
