About the project
EU debate - students age 15-18
More than 1.000 students took part in the EU debate which aim was for the young Europeans to find out that common problems and topics can have different voices and meanings around Europe. 50 schools from all over Europe registred to take part in the EU debate using Twin Space. The students logged on to the Twin Space and discussed on the following topics:
What does Europe mean to me?
How to make young Europeans vote at elections.
In what areas does it make sense to cooperate-why or why not: environment, climate, defence, Euro, consumer protection, EU external borders (Schengen), EU or national trade agreements, Distributing migrants etc.
The project ran from September 1st till October 1st 2018. The second part of it was from April 1st till May 31st 2019.
The language was English.
AIMS
The aim is for young Europeans to find out that common problems and topics can have different voices and meanings around Europe. What seems straight forward in one country can mean an obstacle in another. We want the students to understand that they can agree more with a young person from another European country than a class mate.
WORK PROCESS
The students worked with EU and European topics in the classroom and as homework they logged on to the Twin Space and discussed with fellow students from Europe.
RESULTS
The students from all over Europe were able to come to a broader understanding of the many European topics that have been discussed in and outside the European and the national parliaments.
