Course Summary
This course addresses common European Values in practice – the growing need to reinforce shared European values across EU Member States in times of social polarization, misinformation, and declining civic participation. The course provides education professionals with practical tools to understand, promote, and apply common European values in educational, youth, and community contexts, while fostering intercultural dialogue and European cooperation. Through a non-formal education approach, combining interactive workshops, simulations and experiential learning activities, participants will work collaboratively in multicultural teams, engaging with case studies drawn from different EU countries to explore diverse perspectives and real-life contexts. Reflective sessions and structured peer learning are integrated throughout the programme to encourage critical thinking, dialogue and shared learning.
