Civic education remains an important means of teaching citizens about the organizational structure and constitution of their country. At the same time it informs about the rights, duties and responsibilities of every individual and the Government and its Institutions at every level. Civic education is particularly important for building peaceful national consensus in areas affected by violent conflict.

This Workshop seeks to bring together policy makers, experts in the fields of education and the media, as well as representatives of religious and secular groups active in the field of education and violence prevention in order to identify ways to improve the knowledge of the citizens of Nigeria by all the relevant stakeholders, each one according to his or her possibilities.

It is organized as a follow-up to the round table discussion on "Ethics and Violence in Electoral Processes in Nigeria".
