SINTESI
EUStudy identifies an interdisciplinary challenge underlain by European citizenship
education efforts and addresses it through a comprehensive working programme
that targets school professionals and students/pupils, civil society, the scientific
community and education policy makers at the Italian and European level. The
project aims at cross-fertilizing the EU studies and the Education research fields
through academic conferences and a research activity aimed at producing sound
scientific outputs and publications that can sustain evidence-based policy making
and multi-layered methodological approaches to citizenship education. Academic
activities are consistently intertwined with a series of events and deliverables
whose design originates from experimented and multilingual best practices of EU
education and communication developed by key staff members and awarded
public support in the last ten years: teachers’ workshops and classroom activities,
mixing distance with in-presence learning that exploit the eCampus eLearning
facilities, its unique network of 60 local seats all over Italy and an original Virtual
Learning Environment on the EU created by individual staff members in a KA3
Erasmus+ project; filmed projections of music recital show “Europe: what a
Passion! The tale of a stormy love affair” followed by roundtable debates with civil
society and media representatives; finally, in cooperation with the Movimento
Europeo Italia, the “Bologna process on trial”, i.e. the application of a successful
simulation game format to the framework intergovernmental initiative that drives
cooperation in the field of higher education policies since the beginning of this
Century. An internal academic seminar will prepare, monitor and exploit the
EUStudy project results inside the growing eCampus community itself, including
its 25,000 enrolled students, 60,000 users of its eLearning tools and a rapidly
developing network of EU and international academic institutions.
