The Year 2013 was declared by the representatives of the European Union as the European Year of Citizens. The formation of the European citizenship is an important condition for the exercise of citizens´ rights from all of the EU countries. Slovak Republic took a part in an international research civic education and citizenship education in 2009. The facts showed that the SR is teaching civics productively. Active citizenship and development of critical thinking skills are the main tasks of the educational system and they are related with the problems, which have to be solved especially in relation with an erosion of the values which occur in the consumer society, undermining democracy, incoherence, increasing selfishness and individualism.
