The project “Teachers4Europe: setting an Agora for Democratic Culture” (T4E) is targeting all the above challenges in an equal way: using education as the vehicle for the promotion of principles and values comprising the EU democratic culture, which can contribute to better appreciation of the EU as an entity that works at many different levels in favour of all people, irrespective of their identity; the Teachers 4 Europe (T4E) will act as inspiring social and cultural agents that will spread the European values to colleagues, young people and the society.

Moreover, they will foster a dialogue with and among relevant stakeholders on a social and policy level and will contribute towards realising synergies and improving the quality of training and learning through knowledge about Europe and its values, especially in the field of Democratic Culture.

T4E will be evolved as a European learning network involving additional schools, teachers, policy representatives and community stakeholders that will be committed to act in favor of EU values. In this way, not only the teachers’ role will be upgraded but also inclusive and democratic learning environments will be established.

General Objective

The project will further exploit, expand and scale up the Teachers 4 Europe network (T4E) which has proven quite effective at national and local level implementing successful projects about EU in Greece since 2011. The emerging T4E transnational network will act as inspiring social and cultural incubator that will foster the dialogue with and among relevant stakeholders on a social and policy level; in addition, T4E will contribute towards realising synergies and improving the quality of training and learning about Europe, its values, and its Democratic Culture.
