Modules
The E-modules videos “Participate in Europe” provide an introduction to European integration from a civic and political dimension. The main target group are participants in the Erasmus+ programme, but the E-modules also speak to a broader audience.
The E-modules provide an introductory lens on European politics and institutions, the main values underpinning these institutions, civic and political engagement, and participation, as well as a number of more specific themes (e.g. dimensions of gender identity and equality, cultural diversity, European (colonial) history, Eastern and Western Europe, EU citizenship education, and EP elections. All these themes are discussed in relation to international mobility and the Erasmus+ programme.
