Europamobil
Europamobil wants to get young people excited about European integration, and show them ways to personally play a role in shaping it.
Groups of 20 European Studies students travel with the Europamobil to secondary schools in Germany (in 2009, Brandenburg) and France (in 2010, Ile-de-France) on trips lasting 11 days each. The schools involved will hold European project days especially for this occasion. The students from seven EU member states (Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Denmark, France, Poland, and Spain) will hold workshops, seminars, simulation games, and language training sessions at each school. The bus travels to one school per day - meaning that over the year approximately 3,300 high-school and vocational-school students between the ages of 12 and 19 will participate in the program in total.
Afterwards, the results of the project weeks are presented in a traveling exhibition as well as on the project’s website.
The project is being organized together with the Stiftung Genshagen.
