EAB goes CERV 2023 - Framework partners for the values of the EU

"Europe in the Classroom" is a teacher training project. The project enables teachers and educators to address current European issues in the classroom or in education in line with their curriculum. The aim is to bring pupils closer to Europe and raise their awareness of the Union's values. Particular emphasis is placed on designing interesting, attractive and low-threshold teaching arrangements.

The project is aimed at journalists and media activists as intermediaries for the communication of political developments in the EU. A series of briefings enables journalists and media activists to get first-hand information from policy-makers and experts in a short period of time. Each briefing is followed by a discussion that enables journalists and media activists to form their own judgements based on facts and figures.

In times of crisis and social change, people are looking for reliable information about political, social and cultural developments in the EU. "Europe behind the headlines will meet this need by broadcasting entertaining and informative panel discussions on current EU issues. The EAB will organise panel discussions with policy makers, experts and citizens, which will be streamed live or recorded and later broadcast as podcasts. The panel discussions are open to the general public and aim to include the views and opinions of citizens before and during the debate.

"Newsroom Europe" trains young Europeans in critical and open-minded media coverage of the priorities of the EU Presidencies. The project aims to create a multinational view of the respective presidencies and the upcoming trio presidencies. The project will start in 2023 with Sweden and Spain and will grow in the following years. The long-term goal is to create a European network of young European publishers and to promote debate on the future of Europe outside the national media public sphere.

"Unboxing Y-Europe" is an upscaling project. It uses an innovative e-democracy approach to help young migrants and refugees aged 18-30 to better understand the processes and dynamics of European integration and to make their voices heard for the future of Europe. Over the course of a year, a selected group of teachers and students, together with learning experts and practitioners, will develop a digital learning box - an interactive multimedia presentation on a smartphone - on the theme of "Europe from the bottom up".

The project brings together social workers, educators and municipalities from different EU countries in the field of anti-racism to exchange good practices. Together they are developing a toolkit for educating and raising awareness of racism. Existing twin city networks form the starting point of new alliances fighting discrimination and recism in Europe.

The project raises awareness of the role of women in European history and integration. In a process of mutual learning, participants identify leading women in European history and role models. The stories of these women are told and illustrated in graphic novels. Both the method of this form of storytelling and the graphic novels themselves can be transferred and used in all EU countries.

The project "Reclaim" is aimed at young women aged 18 to 30. It aims to raise awareness of gender inequalities expressed on the internet and to empower young women to be more confident in social media, to participate more intensively in public discourse on the internet and to become opinion leaders and influencers who are taken seriously. The project raises awareness of gender inequality, especially in the political and digital spheres; trains and supports participants to communicate their messages effectively; and helps counter hate speech and gender-based disinformation.

"Local European Gamechangers" brings young citizens from Berlin together with other young people from Berlin's partner cities Budapest, Brussels, Madrid, Paris, Prague and Warsaw to discuss in a cross-border dialogue topics of European integration that concern and interest them most, e.g. digitalisation, climate change. The young people take the results back to their cities, where they formulate concrete demands to improve the respective situation in their home cities in a process of mutual learning and exchange and present them to local decision-makers. This project brings Europe closer to the young citizens and is suitable to raise their awareness and interest in European integration.

The project aims to encourage young citizens to reflect on gender equality and European integration and to participate in decision-making. Youngster from six European countries will discuss, argue, deliberate and get off the train during the 10-day train journey through Europeto meet with experts and policy makers. Two journeys simultaneous meet in Spain and deliver the result of the project - proposals on how to improve gender equality in Europe - to the Spanish EU Council Presidency.

The project addresses various dilemmas related to climate change mitigation and sustainability, such as economic growth vs. limits of ecosystems and limited resources; biodiversity protection vs. renewable energy; demands of growing cities and metropolises vs. the needs of progressive urban climate action; growing scarcity vs. social equity. The project aims to raise awareness of these dilemmas and to support a deliberative debate with young and older citizens and local actors across borders.

In three programme lines, the project networks young people on the topics of democracy promotion, sustainable development and climate protection. In the (1) Czech-German Young Professionals Programm, three seminars take place in which participants exchange ideas with experts on the topic of resilient democracies. In the (2) Spring Lab, students from Germany and France deal with issues of sustainable development in Europe and the Global South. During the (3) Spring Academy, young people learn the basics of a new economic education for climate protection in a practical seminar.
