1 in EU – Engaging Students in Interdisciplinary Learning to Foster Active Citizenship, European Identity, and Cultural Awareness through Innovative Educational Approaches

ongoing

"The ""1 in EU"" project aims to enhance students’ understanding of the European Union, its values, and its impact on daily life. Through interdisciplinary and interactive learning, the project makes EU education engaging, relevant, and accessible to students across different subjects. To achieve this, the project will implement a variety of educational activities, including debates, decision-making simulations, project-based learning, and peer-to-peer teaching. Students will compare European cultures, traditions, and languages, gaining a deeper appreciation of diversity, cooperation, and shared European identity. A key feature is cross-grade collaboration, where older students will mentor younger peers, strengthening teamwork, leadership, and a sense of community. The project will provide teachers with structured lesson plans, interdisciplinary materials, and training, ensuring that EU-related education is systematically integrated into the curriculum. It will also focus on critical thinking skills, helping students recognize disinformation and develop a well-rounded perspective on European issues. By fostering active citizenship and democratic engagement, the project aligns with the Jean Monnet programme’s goals of promoting EU studies at the school level. Its impact will extend beyond the classroom through social media, school events, and shared teaching resources, ensuring long-term sustainability. Ultimately, ""1 in EU"" empowers students to become informed, responsible, and active European citizens, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to engage with Europe’s future."
