Our Association is a dynamic and fast-expanding group of academics from across Europe, all engaged in research and scholarship on young people's social learning and their construction of identities.
We've formed this Association after many of us have worked together on a European Commission Erasmus Academic Network project, 'Children's Identity and Citizenship in Europe (CiCe)' since 1998. This Network project has only Higher Education instition members. It also has its own Website.
Our Association has individual and institutional members, and an elected, independent Executive.
As a result of the election in May 2010, Nanny Hartsmar, of the University of Malmo, will be President-Elect from October this year to September 2012, and President from October 2012 to September 2014.
