A new European budget fit for our ambitions

A driving force behind European action

The new EU Curriculum - United in Learning

Avatar: Nicolo Minardo Nicolo Minardo

As we have seen in the past decades, education has become more and more fundamental in the development of a person's life. What we learn since primary school shapes us for the rest of our life and in those buildings we learn how to critically think and resonate. Why are values and policies of Europe not taught in schools?
Within the new EU Budget we must allocate a percentage, from the Education Fund, that will allow countries to implement cycles of education with experts teaching students the functions, the policies and the shared values of the Union. And it would be at all levels: from the primary school up until the last year of high school - basically all the mandatory education cycle. Clearly, different levels of complexity and different topics would be taught in each year, but they would have a common purpose: allow young students to learn, get passionate and critically resonate on the European Union. This cycles should be held every month for two or more hours and by experts directly on indirectly working with the European institutions.

This would not only allow people to involved in the Union from a young age, but would also really help to solve the enormous issue of abstentionism: people do not get involved in EU elections because they feel the institution distant and abstract. Out of innocent ignorance, they are not aware of the big impact it has on their life. We must show it to them since a young age and we'll gain a significant percentage of voters back.
