EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP COMMON EDUCATION PROGRAM FORINTEGRATED EUROPE

Description

"European youth aged 15-24, while searching for identity and culture in their societies, are the most vulnerable in understanding the full potential of EU citizenship and its various dimensions. This being said, education has always played a significant role in cultivating identity and culture in young minds. That is why education, towards a common goal of a better understanding of EU citizenship, is essential. The European Union gives great importance to young people’s learning and appropriation of their own cultures and the common culture of Europe, in effect allowing the youth to acquire cultural awareness which will carry them to the future, as well as gain contemporary skills to become the architects of their own lives. However, among EU countries, there are different approaches to EU citizenship education in school curriculums and education systems in general (Eurydice, 2017). Unfortunately, in some countries their teachings are simply insufficient. This situation raises the need to expand the framework of citizenship education and its dimensions among EU member country school education systems .This project will train to implement EU citizenship education into the curriculum of the students from the project partner countries (TR, PL, LT). The target students are aged 14-18. This project will deliver a Training Module 4 important elements: 1. Purpose; 2. Content; 3. Learning Teaching Processes; and 4. Evaluation - defined as the ""EU CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION PROGRAM"". By implementing a joint education program with the schools in our project, we aim to provide EU citizenship education, to adopt EU values, to raise awareness of European common culture and to have a European identity among young students. In order to achieve the EU's goal of creating an integrated Europe, it is important that EU citizenship competencies, EU values and European common cultural awareness are given to young European individuals in a holistic approach. In this sense, our project ensures that students will be supported in school within the teacher-parent triangle, with in-school and out-of-school activities, communication, cooperation, interaction with their European peers, and take responsibility together. In this context, we aim to achieve and impart three Intellectual Outputs by the end of the project’s program implementation.European Citizenship Common Education Program for Integrated Europe’s Intellectual Outputs:* European Youth and Culture Club (IO1)EYCC will be established by and with partner schools. EYCC Management Units, Activity Contents, and Working Schedule will be prepared by the participating students of partner schools using peer-mediated teaching, brainstorming, and collaborative teaching methods. EYCCs will raise students’ awareness about European citizenship through (inter)active events and activities. By joining the club, students’ planning, preparing, organizing, and participation skills will improve. Students will gain awareness of civic participation with the help of partner NGOs and other institutions involved in club activities. * Mobile Application (IO2)A free and accessible iOS- and Android-compatible mobile application will be created. App users can access significant content and information about artistic and cultural items in Europe. The app will enable young European users to communicate and interact with each other. The contents of the mobile application will be created by the young students using the peer-mediated teaching, brainstorming, and collaborative teaching methods. Through the project, the mobile application will reach many European young users and contribute to a common understanding of European citizenship among young people.* EU Citizenship Training Module (IO3)A joint education program for EU citizenship will be implemented among partner schools. The implementation aims to systematically provide EU citizenship competencies to European young people. The program will be created by school teachers and will be piloted for 8 months in partner schools. The weaknesses and strengths of the pilot implementation will be assessed through ISCTE-IUL's evaluation activities.It is important that teachers be trained about EU citizenship for them to incorporate their learnings into their class syllabuses and teaching materials, and eventually, better educate the youth towards European common values. After the trainings and with the finalized EU Citizenship Training Module, we aim to improve existing teaching modules/materials as well as train participating teachers about:- Social Citizenship in Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy classes; - Economic Citizenship in Mathematics and Derivative courses;- Digital Citizenship in the Informatics and Technology lessons;- Democratic Citizenship in the History and Democracy lessons; and- Cultural Citizenship in Language, Literature, Painting, Music, Physical Education lessons."
