Generation EUropeans

ongoing

The project aims to create an active, sustainable network to educate teachers and learners about the EU role and its history, the institutions, the way it functions and what the responsibilities and benefits of belonging to a wider community are. It will support teachers, primarily to discover EU related resources and tools in order to develop their own educational plan, and thus, be able to produce high-quality learning material. It will enable students to get acquainted with the European cultural heritage and to become more active EU citizens, as they will be introduced to the EU values, pillars, principles and objectives. We are committed to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in all our school policies. The products of the project will be: training courses for teachers, study visits for learners, Open Days for the wider school community, newsletters and fanzines published at regular times, a project blog, as well as a teacher’s handbook and a kit containing teaching material, lesson plans and an inventory of useful links and tools. The school is situated on the borderline of Europe facing many socioeconomic challenges and being in the centre of the immigration crisis for many years, thus, it is of vital importance that the students are empowered with the EU ethics to avoid phenomena of xenophobia and radicalisation. The methodologies that will be used to implement the project will be age appropriate, such as project-based learning, inquiry-based learning and experiential learning techniques, followed by on-site research and study visits to EU institutions.
