VAL-YOU · EUROPEAN VALUES IN EDUCATION

Education for democratic citizenship

Practical tools for bringing European values to life in classrooms and across the whole school.

European values in everyday school life

Democracy, freedom, equality, justice, solidarity and pluralism shape how we live and make decisions together in Europe. Young people should have opportunities to understand these values, explore tensions between them and experience them—not only in lessons, but throughout everyday school life.

VAL-YOU offers practical ways to teach, explore and reflect on these values in the classroom, through the game and across the whole school.
