Project Summary

MEGA – Make Europe Great Again – is a project that aims to strengthen European education in schools by creating a multilingual platform and dedicated resources for secondary school teachers.

All studies confirm that Europe often remains abstract and unknown to people and young people. Informing more and informing better appears to be a line of work that should be carried out in the school context. This is what Europe’s ambitions have been for 20 years and what 90% of young Europeans are calling for.
However, it should be noted that education about Europe does not exist or exists only to a limited extent in pupils’ curricula.

MEGA aims to respond to this by working around 3 objectives:
– To identify, collect and organise a database of European educational resources on Europe to make what exists accessible in one place.
– To create training modules on education for Europe for teachers who are often at a loss when it comes to European issues
– To develop resources adapted to teachers in different subjects (cross-curricular approach) to provide them with quality tools and supports to help them in their work.

MEGA is run by 6 partners, experts in the European subject and teaching from France, Germany, Croatia, Spain and Portugal.

During 33 months, these organisations will work to build a coherent set of ressources dedicated to the teaching of Europe at school, adapted to the realities and contexts of their respective countries, but also to any other European country.

The work programme includes
– national white papers to identify the context of each country
– a one-stop-shop platform for access to educational resources on Europe
– e-learning modules for in-service teacher training
– the creation of comprehensive (ready-to-use) resources and courses for teachers
– promoting among their peers why and how to educate about Europe at school.

Over the entire project, more than 300 secondary school teachers will be trained and equipped to educate about Europe and dozens of schools will lead lessons on Europe.

MEGA will have a direct impact on teachers, on the teaching of Europe at school, on the European dimension in schools and will contribute to disseminating and raising awareness of education about Europe beyond the initial spheres of the project. The consortium is committed to this ambition and hopes that, through the project’s outputs, a precise analysis of the impact on pupils and teachers, and a dissemination work targeting the education authorities in the partner countries, will help to support national guidelines and European initiatives in favour of a better knowledge of Europe and the development of a stronger European feeling.
