Abstract
As teachers of civics, we have been facing the question what it means to be a citizen. Both society and the notion of citizenship have undergone changes and have to deal with such challenges as increasing inequality or social and economic consequences of climate change, to name just a few.
The paper presents multifarious ways in which Charles University Department of Civics and Philosophy deals with the ongoing societal changes and conceptualizes civic education in its new study programs to meet the requirements of current society. A joint paper presented at the conference "Education for Future: Humanities and social sciences and challenges for citizens in the 21st century" presented at Masaryk University in Brno 22nd September 2021.
