The EPACE-EU (Enhancing Public Awareness and Civic Engagement in the EU) aimed to increase citizens’ awareness and participation in deliberative democratic processes. The project seeked to increase the understanding by the citizens, especially young people, of the EU policy-making dynamics in an engaging and pedagogically appropriate way. In addition, EPACE-EU actively engaged citizens, from different age groups, education levels and backgrounds, in an open and participatory dialogue, to raise awareness and build knowledge on EU Institutions & policy making and at the same time to tackle disinformation and fake news in the media on European Union’s matters.
Τhe project’s activities, throughout its period, included:
- 3 Emerging Leadership Academies (ELA), in which more than 70 people from more than 10 countries participated,
- 6 simulation exercises (European Council and EU Council), in which more than 200 (postgraduate) students took part,
- 3 Public Agoras, with an average participation of 35 people per year,
- More than 20 tailor-made Seminars for professionals, journalists, teachers and citizens,
- An electronic game (“Ticket to an EU Ride” on the EU, which can also be used as an education tool for teachers,
- A website – electronic calendar (“EU Days”), containing all the important information about the EU history and evolution.
