EUFutur - [Enhancing EU Integration process literacy among university students in Western Balkans]
Project name: EUFutur - [Enhancing EU Integration process literacy among university students in Western Balkans]
Duration: 3 years
Project Coordinator: UET
Project Description: Through its planned activities these projects aim to promote active EU citizenship and values among various population groups in all the countries involved. This will be done through gathering information, exchanging pract
ices, building knowledge and promoting the European integration process through the academic debate, research papers and publications as well as the conferences, seminars, workshops, etc., where will be involved both academics, decision makers and students. It will, nevertheless, target the young generation, particularly undergraduate and graduate students. Specific objectives:
· Promote excellence in teaching and research, in the field of European Studies, issues, and practices.
· Expand knowledge about EU and its respective policies, standards, convergence criteria, etc. Given the current revision of EU convergence criteria, this knowledge needs to be conveyed to the general public and key stakeholders involved in the EU integration and access process in Albania.
· Promote and establish a dialogue between academia and other stakeholders, focusing mainly on students in higher education institutions not normally dealing with EU issues.
· Review, update and complement current curricula on EU policies, market, institutions, as well as the EU integration process. Result:
The main results is the impact on academic curricula and research agendas that focus on EU studies in a variety of ways. They are expected to foster the development of existing capacities for quality scholarly and public activities at the universities involved in this project on matters related to the European Union, as well as create new avenues and forums for searching, teaching, debating and sharing views, research methodologies and experiences in the area of EU studies. Just as importantly, they are expected to have an important effect on public and especially younger generation’s perception about the European Union and EU policies, institutions, and EU.
