Living under the European Union banner, what does it mean for a young adult today and for the future ?
Respectively in our European section ( Lycée Notre Dame - Challans - France ) and English and Politics department ( Burg Gymnasium - Bad Bentheim - Germany ), our students follow courses about European themes.
A partnership for improving their intercultural and English skills seemed to be obvious and really enriching. Moreover, answering the following questions about the European citizenship has a real meaning and will be useful for their future.
- What does it mean being European ?
- How does the EU government work ?
- How does it affect us ?
- How do other Europeans see the EU and Europe ?
- How is the EU portrayed in the media ?
- What are the main European debates ?
- What is our cultural heritage ?
An international meeting in a European capital city would be a concrete outcome of this project.
