In order to continue the process of European integration and give the EU a chance for development in the future, it is crucial to work on the involvement of young people and their connection to the EU.
The Europeans of Tomorrow (EoT) project aims to bring the EU together with the theme of participation and active citizenship into Apro Formazione's educational activities through a dedicated 40-hour training module.
The EoT module will be delivered progressively to different classes: two second-grade classes in the first year of the project, three second-grade classes in the second year, every second-grade class of Apro Formazione Alba in the third year (7 classes), and then it will be implemented in all second-grade classes of Apro Formazione, both in Alba and Canelli (9 classes). Prior to the delivery of the module, the teachers involved will participate in courses to deepen their teaching skills on EU topics.
The EoT training module will be composed of 14 teaching activities embedded in 7 curricular subjects (Italian, History, English, Economics, Citizenship Education, Science, and Orientation) and extracurricular activities, carried out by 4 external individuals who have relevant pedagogical skills in teaching EU themes and participation. The activities are as follows:
