Essential Citizenship Competencies

English Language Essential Citizenship Competencies (Ethical, Empowered, Engaged, Empathetic, Enlightened, Engaged)
(ECCS)
En Français (Éclairés, Engagés, Empathiques, Éthiques et Habiles)
(ECCs) are the essence of citizenship skills, knowledge, and dispositions that are deemed necessary for an individual to participate fully as a respectful, responsible citizen. These five ECCs bind together Saskatchewan’s approach to citizenship education; the ECCs are neither exclusive of one another nor hierarchical in order or importance. Rather, they intersect, impact, and bolster one other. While we can articulate each one separately, the five ECCs are meant to be considered as an interwoven fabric of citizenship when fully understood.

Here’s a framework of Big Ideas Correlation with Essential Citizenship Competencies unit to help you on your way - https://www.concentus.ca/teacher-toolkit/essential-citizenship-competencies-wrap/

Concentus is proud to have been a contributing witness to a Substantive Report from the Senate of Canada Standing Committee on Human Rights titled: Combatting Hate: Islamophobia and its impact on Muslims in Canada
We are pleased to see Concentus and citizenship education cited as part of the solution. This direct quotation is from the section Confronting Misinformation through Education:
“Citizenship education was highlighted as a vital instrument for fighting discrimination and fostering understanding among young people. Daniel J. Kuhlen (Lawyer, National Council of Canadian Muslims) commended the Concentus Citizenship Education Foundation's citizenship education as a crucial tool in combating discrimination.”
