Project Summary

Europe is part of everyday life for European citizens, but this cross-cutting nature is not reflected in academic curricula. The E-LICEO program, an acronym for “School of Leadership, Innovation and European Citizenship Online”, is an initiative that seeks to fill a gap in the school curriculum of Spanish students, who barely deal with issues related to the European Union in Their centers. Thus, neither primary education nor compulsory secondary education deals with issues related to Europe, nor does it occur in post-compulsory education, that is, in training cycles, baccalaureate or university, except in the case of specific courses.

In a collateral way, this program aims to strengthen the access of Spanish youth to the opportunities that the EU has created these years (such as programs such as Erasmus Plus and Euroscola), but remain underutilized, expanding the impact, to the extent Of all possible Spanish territory. We intend to create a network of trainers on European issues in schools and universities. With this project we seek to establish the bases to have the necessary resources to consolidate this structure and that it will be able to generate new local, regional, national and international events that will bring together international interpersonal networks that encourage the participation of the young Spaniards in the activities of European level. In this way, we intend to contribute to strengthening the associative fabric focused on European themes and with the vocation to organize events so that the young Spaniards can integrate and participate, developing capacities that are very necessary in the new multicultural environments.

As a necessary complement to this face-to-face work with students, in the digital world in which we live it is necessary to complete the face-to-face training of students with online courses that prolong the activity developed in direct contact. In this way, we intend to consolidate the action carried out in person with a possible online follow-up, at the same time as we open the possibility for training on Europe to anyone who is interested in the issue, expanding our scope.

The association that presents this project, the Young Europeans and Federalists of Spain, we have more than 35 years of experience working the question of Europeanism with the young Spaniards. For more than three years we have given talks in secondary schools and universities to raise awareness of the opportunities that Europe offers to young people. On this occasion we decided to bring together a group of associations that, like ours, have also been working on these issues for several years.
