Description

Through this course we seek to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical tactics to enable teachers to promote values such as democracy, human dignity, freedom, equality, rule of law, and human rights. Designed for multicultural and diverse classroom settings, it combines foundational theory with hands-on methods that can be applied across subjects and school activities. 

 

Participants will deepen their understanding of EU values, examine their applicability to day-to-day life, and acquire tools for promoting critical thinking and democratic participation. The course will provide ready-to-use examples, case studies, and creative exercises for direct application in the classroom. 

 

To support learning, the course encourages peer exchange, reflective dialogue, and active engagement, mirroring the very values it aims to promote. Participants will be guided in adapting these principles to their unique teaching environments, ensuring meaningful and lasting impact. 

Ƶing objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Define and explain the core EU values and their relevance in education.
  • Identify opportunities to embed EU values into various subject areas and school activities.
  • Facilitate open discussions and critical thinking around controversial issues.
  • Promote active citizenship and student participation through classroom and school-wide initiatives.
  • Develop and present a personal integration plan for applying EU values in their professional context. 

Methodology & assessment

The course is offered as an asynchronous course with flexibility in regard to when and where participants follow the course content and join the course activities.
