Economic and Monetary Union: Issues Relating to Education for Citizenship
Ian Davies

This paper explores the debates surrounding the possible development of economic and monetary union (EMU) within the European Union. It does so in an effort to raise issues about possible ways to educate about and for citizenship. An example of a teaching approach used with undergraduate students in a UK university department of educational studies is described and then discussed. The method of teaching is perceived positively, although tentatively, and the conclusions are very provisional. Issues are discussed including the nature and level of understanding and skills which could potentially be achieved by students in relation to citizenship education.
