This article takes the current challenges facing democratic societies and the entanglement of these with digital aspects as a starting point to show the connections between media and civic education and to present civic media education as a contemporary manifestation of education for democratic citizenship. It concludes by arguing that great significance should be attached to such civic media education within the context of VET too, both at the level of teaching contents and via relevant experiential spaces.
