Abstract Civic competence is one of the key competencies agreed by European Commission and educational bodies (European Commission Framework, 2006, 2007). The aim of developing this competence is to have citizens who will act democratically and will participate actively not only to social life, but also to political life. Political participation requires knowledge about political topics, skills of using political tools and possession of adequate procedures. Also, the political participation implies the manifestation of a positive attitude toward politic. Last European election showed that the interest in politics is lowering in most of the EU states. Political participation is not a mainstream subject of adult education courses. Most of the adult education courses on active citizenship have some topics relating politics and political issues but they are not encouraging involvement in politics. This is mostly due to the negative image of political activism as ideology. In this paper, we will present some of the findings related to political participation and political interest of adults as they resulted from a European Life Long Learning Grundtvig Project named EuroPol. Also, we will present different alternatives of the use of training materials designed for promoting political participation. The first data sets are the result of a need research survey for political education carried out in eight European countries in February-March 2009. The focus of the need research was the attitude toward politics and the selection of relevant political topics by adult students. Based on the need research, three educational materials were designed and will be piloted in October-November 2009. The educational materials are a training manual, twelve educational films and a web-based game. Based on these two data sets, we will conclude about the relevance of different modalities of teaching adults for political involvement.
