This publication contributes to the field by offering more empirical evidence as to the effective ways in which education can reduce social gaps in civic and political engagement. As editors, we prioritised the contributions of early-career researchers and those who have adopted fresh approaches and topics and highlighted helpful strategies to improve social equality and provide a more equitable distribution of learning resources among underprivileged groups. After two years? close collaboration among academic editors, journal editors and authors, this Special Issue has finally been released in 2021 with eight papers. Inter alia, three papers focus on the school?s role in developing young people?s citizenship competences, such as knowledge, skills, interests and attitudes towards diversity. Two articles explore exclusion/minority groups cases, indicating valuable lessons for developing tailored educational materials and/or activities for hard-to-reach groups. As a unique contribution, two more papers emphasise experimental studies: the paper written by Steven Donbavand and Bryony Hoskins provides a comprehensive and systematic review of all the experimental designs on promoting political participation, whereas the submission written by Sven Ivens and Monika Oberle unpacks some details on how a digital intervention operates and improves to produce satisfying outcomes. 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 610 $adigital simulation game 610 $adesign-based research 610 $aempirical research 610 $acivic education 610 $aEuropean Union 610 $acitizenship education 610 $acitizenship competences 610 $aeducational effectiveness 610 $aschool policies 610 $alearning environment 610 $aclassroom climate 610 $ateaching practices 610 $ahard-to-reach learners 610 $avocational transition system 610 $asimulation game 610 $adiscrimination 610 $aBrussels 610 $aadolescents 610 $adisadvantaged youth 610 $aviolence 610 $ademocracy 610 $asocial cohesion 610 $asocial polarization 610 $acitizenship 610 $ainequality 610 $aminority education 610 $ademocratic citizenship 610 $acontrolled trials 610 $apolitical engagement 610 $adiversity 610 $adifferentiation 610 $aschool as practice ground 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aEducation 700 $aLiu$b Liyuan$4edt$01314047 702 $aDonbavand$b Steven$4edt 702 $aHoskins$b Bryony$4edt 702 $aJanmaat$b Jan Germen$4edt 702 $aKavadias$b Dimokritos$4edt 702 $aLiu$b Liyuan$4oth 702 $aDonbavand$b Steven$4oth 702 $aHoskins$b Bryony$4oth 702 $aJanmaat$b Jan Germen$4oth 702 $aKavadias$b Dimokritos$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557411503321 996 $aMeasuring and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Active Citizenship Education Programmes to Support Disadvantaged Youth$93031623 997 $aUNINA
