Understanding Europe Belgium

Mateusz Wiza
Coordinator
“In Belgium, which is perceived by many as the heart of Europe, young people want to be aware of how the European Union works and how they can be active citizens. It is mandatory for them to vote in the European Elections so it's crucial that by the time students leave the high school, they are able to make an informed decision. Understanding Europe is a perfect complement to the curriculum ensuring that pupils' desire for the EU knowledge is fulfilled.”

Daniela I. Toutpati
Coordinator
“Understanding Europe Belgium is the perfect way for young people to understand how the European Union works and, most importantly, how to become active citizens in society. Everyday racism, discrimination, inequality gaps, but also problems like climate change, among many others, suffocate our society, day by day. Remaining silent and indifferent becomes the worst fault ever. Therefore, it is our duty to make this society a better place and ensure a better living for the next generations. Only by acting together, will we achieve this.”
