During 5 days (15-19 November 2021) BRU-Iscte welcomed the C2 TRAINING Meeting of the ECCEPFIE Project – EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP COMMON EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR INTEGRATED EUROPE (ERASMUS+). This project will train to implement EU citizenship education into the curriculum of the students with the project partner schools from Turkey, Poland and Lithuania.
This project will meet the EU citizenship education program needs of all students of respective partner schools between the ages of 14-18 and will ensure that students will be supported in school within the teacher-parent triangle, with in-school and out-of-school activities, communication, cooperation, interaction with their European peers, and take responsibility together.
By implementing a joint education program with the partner schools that take part in ECCEPFIE Project, we aim to provide EU citizenship education, to adopt EU values, to raise awareness of European common culture and to have a European identity among young students. In order to achieve the EU’s goal of creating an integrated Europe, it is important that EU citizenship competencies, EU values and European common cultural awareness are given to young European individuals in a holistic approach. In this sense, the ECCEPFIE Project ensures that students will be supported in school within the teacher-parent triangle, with in-school and out-of-school activities, communication, cooperation, interaction with their European peers, and take responsibility together.
Coordinator of the Project – Elnaz Shadras from Voices of the World – Belgium
Portugal Partner – The researchers Maria José Sousa and Inês Sousa from BRU-Iscte and invited Professor David Ferraz from ESPP-ISCTE.
