The European Union - simply explained

ongoing

Polska Fundacja im. Roberta Schumana is a civil society organisation active at EU level, devoted to European and civic education. The activities undertaken under this project will gather a total of approx. 80.000 direct participants from 23-25 Member States. The main objective of the project will be to communicate European affairs in an easy to understand manner as well as engage a broad spectrum of EU citizens for European integration. The Foundation aims to reach not only those who are well acquainted with European affairs, but all EU citizens. A special attention will be devoted to citizens who are not particularly interested in European affairs on a daily basis or who are sceptical of the European project. The primary focus of the Foundation will be on the following: • Promoting EU citizens’ rights and Union values mentioned in Article 2 of the Treaty on the European Union. • Tackling misinformation. • Promoting the EU as one of the leaders of environmental and climate action. • Engaging citizens in a discussion about the future of the EU in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. • 2024 European Parliament elections. A substantial part of the activities will be dedicated to inhabitants of small cities and towns. The Foundation will invite participants of different political views, acting as a platform for discussion about the future of the EU. A particular focus will be put on youth inclusion. Project will be implemented in cooperation with civil society organisations or local authorities as well as with European Clubs – non-formal groups of volunteers actively engaged in European affairs. Furthermore, the Foundation will engage a pan-European group of volunteers ‘Schuman Volunteers’.
