Getting Ready for European Citizenship On-Line

The partnership has designed and developed an online course called “Getting Ready for European Citizenship On-Line” (GRECOL) which is inspired by a previous Grundtvig partnership project called “Digital Classroom”.

During the project, we observed, in adult learners across this Grundtvig partnership a notable lack of European identity and a lack of awareness of the wide range of European resources available to facilitate their mobility and develop their sense of shared citizenship.

The proposed new course, comprised of 5 modules detailed below, may be offered in online and blended-learning formats. In addition, the 5 modules may be independently utilized as stand-alone materials or integrated into other courses according to the individual needs of each educational context.

The structure of the subject “Getting Ready for European Citizenship On-Line” (GRECOL) is:

M1. Developing a European identity
M2. European institutions and their functions
M3. European mobility
M4. Dealing with cultural diversity
M5. Final Project

The course is offered in 8 languages: English, Catalan, Spanish, German, Italian, Danish, Latvian and Turkish.

The course is accompanied by a user guide for the teachers and other support documents: “module overview” with detailed information about each one of the modules in terms of competences, objectives, types of activities, resources.
