These recommendations have been put together for the guidance and reference of European Students' Union (ESU's) membership of national student unions and student representatives mandated by point 2.3.b. of ESU's Plan of Work 2019-2020: "ESU should develop recommendations on what students can do to promote democratic citizenship education and to collaborate with academic staff in order to implement the concept of democratic citizenship education in their educational process." Student representatives have an important and influential role in the national and institutional governance (design, decision making and implementation) processes of educational policy, curriculum and assessment. It is hoped that the guidelines and recommendations in this report provide the right tool to incentivise student-led advocacy efforts for the enhancement of democratic citizenship education in Europe.
