Proposal: Understanding of European integration and its societal impacts
Keywords: European identity, Inter-cultural dialogue, Democracy, Democratic transition, Youth
Objective: This project endeavours to counteract the growing influence of nationalist policy movements and educate young Europeans on the EU by bridging historical narratives with contemporary challenges, focusing on key moments in European integration. Through combining efforts to engage citizens in critical thinking and debate with commemorating, researching, and educating about pivotal moments in modern European history, this project seeks to deepen understanding of European integration and its societal impacts.
Through a multifaceted approach, including online training, public debates, educational materials, intergenerational exchanges, and transnational collaboration, the project aims to empower European citizens to critically engage with their shared history. By fostering dialogue, challenging biases, and promoting inclusivity, participants, including students, educators, community members, and stakeholders, will gain practical tools for active civic engagement and remembrance advocacy within their communities.
Additionally, the project embraces a gender-sensitive approach, ensuring equal participation and representation of diverse voices in discussions on European remembrance and integration. By amplifying the voices of witnesses of historical events and facilitating intergenerational dialogue, the project aims to preserve collective memories and promote empathy and understanding across generations. Furthermore, through transnational collaboration and partnerships, the project seeks to leverage diverse perspectives, resources, and expertise to maximise its impact and reach. By fostering cross-border cooperation and solidarity, the project aims to contribute to the building of more equitable and inclusive societies, with education as a central tool for creating social change.
