Europees burgerschap in de klas

The impact of the EU on everyday life is enormous, but not always visible. Educating young people to become informed and empowered EU citizens requires active learning to prepare them for social responsibility and democratic participation. This book provides a practical guide for all those teaching in secondary or higher education aiming to train their students for critical citizenship, and this in different subjects and courses. Stories based on cases dealt with by the Court of Justice of the European Union stimulate students to think critically. These stories aptly illustrate the impact of the EU on a wide range of aspects of the daily lives of its citizens: from the internal market and the free movement of goods and persons, over themes such as democracy, equality, privacy, social rights, to consumer protection, the environment and migration. Through various teaching activities and didactic methods the book provides an accessible insight into the DNA of the EU and EU citizenship. European citizenship in the classroom is therefore a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand European citizenship or who wants to stimulate young people to critically reflect on it. This manual originated from the Erasmus+ project Case4EU and was written by a multidisciplinary team of authors (law, philosophy, political and social sciences)
