Learning unit contents
This internship consists of the collaborative facilitation of a Citizenship seminar for rhetoric students. Each student participates in two seminars; they are required to attend the entire seminar. The practical details of each seminar are specified by the administration of the institution concerned, in consultation with the social sciences teaching team.
The first part of the practical training consists of individual presentations; the second part is based on a collaborative approach and the experimentation of a form of collaborative work (see ZENS0017 Organization of a School and Collaborative Work).
Facilitating these two "Citizenship" seminars requires the following:
Writing a Question and Answer Guide
As an extension of the ZENS0098 course, and based on the feedback provided to them on the first three Question and Answer Guides they wrote, students are asked to write seven (7) additional Question and Answer Guides (for a total of 10 Question and Answer Guides that will be used during the Citizenship seminars).
Writing a training resource
Based on the didactic experiments from the ZENS0098 course and the feedback provided, the students, divided into three work teams, write one of the chapters of the course resource dedicated to the mechanisms of citizenship in federal Belgium and intended for high school seniors.
Writing assessment questions on the content of the "Citizenship" syllabus
Each student is asked to write three assessment questions on the three chapters of the syllabus, for a total of nine questions. Some of these questions are intended for a summative multiple-choice assessment; others are intended for a written exam with open questions; and the remaining questions are intended for an oral exam.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of part 2, and within the deadlines set by the teaching team (taking into account the dates of the various Citizenship seminars held in secondary schools), each student contributed to the writing of the Citizenship syllabus, to the evaluation questions of the contents of this syllabus, to its critical rereading and correction, and wrote and resolved seven (7) QRAs. He or she also contributed to the organization and facilitation of two seminars, and drew up a reflective assessment.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Mastery of disciplinary knowledge related to the themes covered, and of the French language.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Collaborative design of a Citizenship syllabus: Students work as a team to draft one of the three chapters of the syllabus for the Citizenship seminars and develop assessment questions based on the chapter's content. In this context, each student must not only contribute effectively to the writing of one of the three chapters (which requires active attendance during the working sessions), but also carefully and critically review the entire syllabus.
Drafting of seven (7) active research questions (or ARFs).
Course sessions on summative and formative assessment.
Organization and facilitation of the "Citizenship" seminar, including organizing a political debate, visiting judicial and/or political institutions, and facilitating debriefing sessions for the seminar days.
Professional training workshops.
One AFP session will be devoted to self-heteroscopy. Students will therefore be required to make a video during their internship and obtain the necessary authorizations to do so. A document with specific instructions will be provided to students on eCampus.

Continuous assessment
Further information:
Citizenship Syllabus (out of 20 points):
The student's work is evaluated based on the quality of the chapter they contributed to. The following are taken into consideration:
- the accuracy of the theoretical content,
- the relevance of the methodological approaches and teaching methods,
- and compliance with the presentation guidelines.
Active Research Questions (ARQ) (out of 20 points):
Active research questions are evaluated based on their relevance, feasibility, and compliance with the presentation guidelines. Deadline: Wednesday, March 18, 2026, 12:00 p.m.
If the student has not made an appointment or has not attended the scheduled appointment, the grade assigned to the QRA section is 0.
College Internship: Citizenship Seminars (out of 60 points)
The college internship evaluation takes into account:
- the overall quality of each of the two seminars in which the student participated, based on the assessment of the seminar leaders at the institutions concerned;
- the quality of each student's performance, both during classroom work sessions and during the assessment tests.
The following will result in a serious failing grade for the group internship:
- Any proven failure to comply with the legal, ethical, professional, and administrative obligations incumbent upon the intern;
- Any failure to comply with commitments made within their team;
- Serious deficiencies in mastery of disciplinary content.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Please note ! Facilitating Citizenship seminars requires each student to have a thorough understanding of all the material covered, not just the chapter they collaborated on. The practice and discussion sessions for the chapters written by the teams provide an opportunity to fully grasp the material contained in the syllabus.
Please note! Writing the QAs requires significant effort.
All QAs must be completed by the set deadline. The QAs are submitted electronically to the entire teaching team in a single PDF file, based on the specific instructions provided.
Each student must schedule at least one meeting with the member of the teaching team responsible for supervising the writing of the QRAs. The purpose of this supervision is to determine the topics covered by the student, review the initial formulation of the problems addressed, and suggest areas for correction, addition, or amendment.
One AFP session will be devoted to self-heteroscopy. Students will therefore be required to produce a video during their internship and obtain the necessary authorization to do so. A document with detailed information will be provided to students on eCampus.
