This monograph presents the results of the Global Civic Education research project. Transforming global citizenship education into practice through civic education (GloCivEd), a project of significant national interest funded under the PNRR. The research, coordinated by the University of Bologna (PI M. Tarozzi), had two objectives: to analyse how global policies on Global Citizenship Education (GCE) are incorporated into the educational policies of Italian schools and to investigate whether and how global citizenship is integrated into upper secondary education through Civic Education, reintroduced as a compulsory subject by Law 92/2019. Based on these analyses, the project aims to propose an interpretative framework to support the introduction of GCE into school practices.
The GloCivEd project was divided into three areas of research, coordinated by three Local Research Units:
The first area, coordinated by the University of Bologna (PI M. Tarozzi), analysed the academic definitions of ECG and the global, regional and national policies that guide its implementation in the Italian context.
The second area, conducted by the University of Foggia (coordinator I. Loiodice), investigated the representations, beliefs and practices of secondary school teachers with regard to ECG and its integration into civic education.

The third area, coordinated by Roma Tre University (coordinator M. Catarci), explored students' experiences and learning, analysing the impact of ECG themes and approaches on their civic engagement.
The articles contained in this issue analytically report the results of the surveys conducted by the three research units.
