Teaching Europe
10-17 December 2006
Sofia, Bulgaria
Europe House-Sofia and the National Student Confederation have the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the international seminar "Teaching Europe".
The idea for the project came up in connection with Plan D of the European Commission for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate.
The necessity for information about the processes on the continent, as well as the need for building leadership skills in young people aiming at awakening their civil consciousness and acceptance of the common European values, are some of the basic motives, which have provoked the initiation of this project.
We are all Europe and Europe is everywhere. The European project must not be
perceived as an elite project but as an important part of life for everyone.
The main objective of the project is to give practical knowledge to the
participants about the way EU works.
The project will involve governmental officials, elected representatives, as well as scholars, activists of civil society organizations and, most importantly, the participants themselves in a series of debates. The political, social, economic and cultural aspects that the seminar addresses will contribute to the broader involvement of the citizens in the integration process and will turn them into active participants in the future of Europe debate.
Their involvement into the debate, is a condition for overcoming stereotypes and national barriers in the context of creating a common European identity in terms of better knowledge of EU issues.
The rich social program, including a sightseeing trip to the Rila Monastery, one of the most significant and picturesque monuments on the Balkans, will enable the participants to feel the atmosphere of Bulgaria - an ever-evolving and modern country with great cultural heritage and traditions, dating back from Roman and Byzantine times.
