The Jean Monnet Chair Freiburg for European Education (JMC-FrEE)

Abstract

This paper presents the teaching, research and other activities realized from 2020 to 2023 within the EU-funded Jean Monnet Chair Freiburg for European Education (JMC-FrEE) at the University of Education in Freiburg (Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg). The main objectives of the JMC-FrEE-project are first of all to provide expert guidance to future educators and teachers about European matters, and to prepare them to organize learning and teaching processes in a European context for the education of the next generation of active European citizens. Secondly, more public awareness for the topic European Education in and outside of the academic world shall be raised on a national and international level in cooperation with scientists, teachers, civil society actors, policy makers, journalists and school pupils. To achieve these two goals there are multidisciplinary teaching activities, research projects and special events in these areas: Europeanization of Education, Intercultural Education (esp. Multilingual Education) in Europe and Education for disadvantaged children (esp. from the Roma-minority) in Europe.
