The co-editors of an upcoming edited collection are seeking submissions for chapter proposals for a new volume titled "Teaching Civic Engagement in Challenging Times: Global Perspectives on Democratic Education for All." This initiative aims to explore innovative approaches to civic engagement and democratic education in the face of contemporary challenges.

The editors encourage contributions that examine diverse perspectives and methodologies in teaching civic engagement, highlighting successful practices from various cultural and political contexts.
Authors are invited to share their insights, research findings, and pedagogical strategies that address the complexities of fostering civic responsibility and participation among learners. This volume aims to serve as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and scholars committed to promoting democratic values and active citizenship in today's challenging environment.
