EUMAN is the first project that CesUE (Centro studi, formazione, comunicazione e progettazione sull’Unione Europea e la global governance Srl) presents within the Erasmus* program after years of expertise on European Civic Education that CesUE developed trought prestigious collaborations with Italian and European University and think tank.
EUMAN stimulates EU civic education in a significant secondary school population with no EU specific coverage and the wherewithal to become a multiplier of pro-EU communication for the public opinion at all levels: teachers and students of Licei Artistico, Musicale and Coreutico in Italy (125.000 people following official statistics), devoted to audio-visual and performing arts.
Three groups of activities run parallel in the program:
- In each Italian regional capital, CesUE leds a training morning at one of the partner school, during which:
- the Recital “Europe: what a Passion! will be projected (a musical recital that mentally engages the story of the European integration process from World War II to today) as an example of artistic creation inspired by the problem of European unification process;
- a dialogical lesson will be proposed, by CesUE, focused on the relationship between the EU, the mass migration to Europe and the political instability at EU borders;
- the national creative contest “It’s EUman!” will be launched: the contest is addressede to groups of students (at least two students or group-class or group-schools) with the aim of producing original cross-media works between all fields of literary, figurative, audiovisual and / or performative arts, to produce a video recording to be submitted to a committee composed by representatives of CesUE, RAI and a referent for each of the partner schools networks, to partecipate to the contest. The awards ceremony will take place at a public event in Rome at Spazio Europa at the end of the project. The best works will be published on the RAI School website.
- CesUE will be involved in experimentation and dissemination through detailed didactic package of an innovative educational program that exploits a best practice of EU communication (European Awareness Days, featuring a music recital show on EU history and challenges) to transform it into a fully participatory event organized by students as a result of structured learning activities focused on EC migration priority (multidisciplinary teaching that puts the EU at the core of targeted schools curricula, conferences and public events that will involve local civil society).
- As follow-up activity of the project, with value for further dissemination of results, Milan will host a new European Awareness Day representation, in a new specifically developed version, in a city theater involving the Lombardy schools, with particular reference to the regional network of Artistic, Musical and Core Teaching Lectures.
