Exploring our Values as Europeans II

According to Art. 2 of the Treaty on European Union, the Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These values are common in a society in which pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men prevail. Which significance do these values have for the individual and for us as a society? What does it mean to really live these values and what does it take to appreciate them? In this project we will enable our students to experience that our European values are not to be taken for granted but have a long history and need to be fostered and defended for the future. Therefore our students will explore the historic roots of our values as Europeans and experience the significance of these values in their lives today. The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the ability of young people to be active citizens in a united Europe.
