Project  summaries of Jean Monnet Actions in other fields of Education and Training can be found on the Funding & tenders portal. Check out an extract from one of the 2024 Learning EU initiatives:

The project « Aux Portes de l’Union Européenne » aims to promote an open mind on the World that will lead to fight against discrimination, foster inclusion and strengthen the feeling of belonging to a European community. Due to our students’ social and academic difficulties, we thought it was important to anchor the European issues into their day-to-day reality. With this in mind, we developed this project like a game. Like in Harry Potter, our school will be divided into “Houses”. At the start of each school year, each class will be assigned a European country. Throughout the year, each class will collect points -thanks to its achievements and initiatives related to “its” country. At the same time, points can be lost for inappropriate behaviour. This playful approach aims to make European issues more tangible and stimulate our students’ involvement by letting them explore and appreciate European cultural diversity in a fun and participative way.
