“Europe as an Experience" – this is our main objective. At least we want to produce a handbook of methods about „Educational training on European citizenship".
The project is leaded by a national and an international steering team (France, Poland, Germany, Finland, Netherlands and Hungary). The members of the steering team are mentors to the other participating countries. The main activities will take part in Germany. During various activities in the participating countries we will develop and try out diverse methodical materials.
