Abstract
Recently, there has been an increased focus on different competence models to define and assess the skills and abilities needed in various domains. These models provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and evaluating the competencies required for success in specific fields or contexts. Some correspond well with the definition of the Future Citizen and are dedicated to solving the same general questions – how do we describe the human being, who we expect to rise, who will be successful in the future, and who can handle the challenges that the world and environment will give. The future citizen competence model should describe the multifaceted nature of Future Citizens (FC) in a rapidly changing world. This article aims to identify the most critical competencies for the young person to participate successfully and actively in citizen initiatives. In pursuing understanding and cultivating the skills required for Future Citizenship (FC) in an ever-evolving world, our methodology draws inspiration from and aligns with four prominent European competence models and scientific research. EntreComp, Lifecomp, DigComp, and GreenComp collectively provide a comprehensive foundation to explore, define, and assess the competencies essential for the Future Citizen.
