EU-GlobalAct (project 101127119) is Jean Monnet Module financed by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the powers delegated by the European Commission. 

 

 

Project description:

The EU-GlobalAct represents an innovative teaching programme aimed at integrating comprehensive knowledge regarding the European Union’s (EU) role as a significant global entity in a fractured and traumatized global context. This initiative emphasizes the advancement of research excellence while fostering co-creative dialogue between the academic community and pertinent external stakeholders. The project will engage different target groups: students, academic staff, hosting institution, policy makers, civil society representatives, scientific community, and general public.

Particular focus will be accorded to the EU’s strategies in addressing radicalization, fortifying community resilience, and opposing autocratization. Primary objectives encompass the development of contemporary instructional resources and digital learning mechanisms (e.g., virtual learning environments), the utilization of open educational assets, promoting scholarly investigations into the EU’s external and defence policies, integrating trauma-aware considerations, bolstering high-caliber scientific research, orchestrating diverse event formats, and the effective communication, distribution, and application of program outcomes.

​

Project main aim:

An overall objective of the EU-GlobalAct is to deliver knowledge, competencies, values, and skills that are necessary to transform the world into a more sustainable, just, and resilient place, and strengthen the role of the EU as a global actor through a) transformative global citizenship education, b) multidisciplinary (political science, sociology, psychology), and trauma informed approach and c) high quality and inclusive teaching and learning tools and technologies.
