Περίληψη:The impact of the EU on everyday life is huge, but not always visible. Educating young people to become informed and empowered EU citizens requires a strategy of active learning to prepare them for civic responsibility and democratic participation. This book is a practical guide for secondary or higher education teachers aiming to train their students to be critical citizens through a variety of 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 illustrate the impact of the EU on numerous aspects of the daily lives of its citizens: from the internal market and the free movement of goods and persons, to issues relating to democracy, equality, privacy, social rights, consumer protection, the environment and migration. Through various learning activities and teaching methods the book provides 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 understand European citizenship better or who wants to stimulate young people to reflect on it critically. This manual originated from the Erasmus+ project Case4EU and was written by a multidisciplinary team of authors (law, philosophy, political and social sciences).
