EUROCLIO

The University of Oxford hosted our fifth event in Connecting Europe through History – Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations Project. The Euroapeum organised a Graduate Research Workshop on Migration, Ethnicity & the Making of Modern Europe on May 21st - 22nd 2010. This event brought together young scholars from Europaeum universities to explore contemporary European themes.

The sixth event in the programme was a Graduate Research Workshop on Migration, Political Parties & Public Rhetoric in Contemporary Europe- took place in Leiden from June 3rd – 5th 2010. The event comprised a series of lectures, discussions, and presentations of participants' papers.

The third event in our year-long Project, Connecting Europe through History – Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations, took place in Paris on March 17th 2010, hosted at the Palais de la Porte Dorée.

EUROCLIO, the Europaeum's partner in our ongoing series Connecting Europe through History, has recently been awarded second place in the third edition of the European Economic and Social Committee Civil Society Prize.

The Europaeum has once again been successful joining forces with the European teachers association, EuroClio, in winning a EU grant to run a year-long project on the theme of European Migration and History. The programme aims to 'close the gap' between academics and History teachers

Interpreting key moments in the story of European human rights

Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are universally associated with Europe as core values, and today they also form core values of the European Union, and the Council of Europe, and of course the United Nations. Developing an understanding of basic human rights, and what it means to respect them, are therefore both key elements of current education in Eu­rope and also across the world.
