Preparation
The trainer(s) should prepare themselves on the topic of the session and they should prepare a PPT presentation to engage participants and discuss with them.
Description
With the help of PPT presentation and short videos, the Trainer(s) will present to participants the main aspects of the European Union, its institutions and the core European values.
The leading question of the session will be “What about EU?”. The intent of this question will be to make participants reflect on the historical development of the European Union and the reasons and arguments for the European project, as well as on how we perceive Europe, what are its borders, its limitations, its achievements, its values and its obstacles and challenges.
The presentation should involve participants actively, so as to stimulate their participation in the learning process.
To do so, the trainer(s) can foresee moments of brainstorming (i.e. which are the main values of the EU? or which are the challenges/benefits of the EU?) or quizzes (i.e. what happened in this year? or in which year did this event happen?). They could also foresee some group work on specific aspect, such as group research on different topics to report to other participants (i.e. EU citizenship, EU Policies, EU values, EU Treaties, EU institutions, EU Programmes, etc).
Debriefing
It is important that participants stay engaged and participate actively in the session. This can be achieved through an interactive presentation or by incorporating brainstorming and quizzes within the presentation.
