3. Why should we offer such a subject?
•There is the factor of non-identity except by
contrast, a lack of pride Europe wide continues
to be our cultural guideline. It remains a
common experience for a catalan, a swede, a
norwegian,a scottish, a turkish or a german to
be recognised as “european”only when
travelling outside Europe.
4. •A noble desire from the Grundtvig project is to
build a European awareness at the same time
remaining connected to one's own land and
traditions (the eternal conflict between local and
global, between tradition and innovation).
•We want our students to reflect on those issues.
5. The subject is designed to address a number of
key issues and objectives (7):
6. Key 1 of 7
•to learn more about the new european
environment as it is viewed both externally and
internally. How do they see themselves? What
role they want to play, even if small?With
whom?Do they accept Brussels as their
interlocultor?
7. Key 2 of 7
•To further develop our own perspectives on
waht it might be to be European.
8. Key 3 of 7
•To reflect on the relationship of our national
situation to the wider region.
9. Key 4 of 7
•To offer information about what is happening
in European institutions with respect to
exchanges, language study, work abroad...
10. Key 5 of 7

a grant or a work in Europe.
11. Key 6 of 7

educational,vocational and working possibilities
12. Key 7 of 7
•To translate this subject into action plans for
our students that could be realistically achieved.

to be mobile, yet few are: they do
not have the information nor the
support they need.
- We could help them...
