Europa Multiplikatoren Seminar 2017

Zielgruppe dieser Veranstaltung der Europäischen Akademie Nordrhein-Westfalen sind Multiplikatoren, insbesondere Lehrerinnen und Lehrer aller Schulformen, aller Fachrichtungen und aus allen Bundesländern sowie Soldatinnen und Soldaten aller Teilstreitkräfte der Bundeswehr. Regelmäßig nehmen an diesen Veranstaltungen auch immer einige Multiplikatoren aus anderen EU-Staaten teil.

Multiplikatoren wirken täglich bewusst oder unbewusst direkt und indirekt auf die politische Meinungsbildung einer erheblichen Zahl anderer, vor allen Dingen junger Menschen ein. Das Seminar soll durch Vermittlung von grundlegenden Informationen zur aktuellen europäischen Politik und durch ein breites Maß an Diskussion die Bereitschaft und Fähigkeit der Teilnehmer(innen) fördern, ihrer Multiplikatorenrolle inhaltlich und argumentativ gerecht werden zu können.

Das diesjährige Europa-Multiplikatoren-Seminar 2017 findet vom 04.12. – 08.12.2017 in Aachen statt.

2017 wird Ereignisse, Herausforderungen und Entscheidungen bescheren, die geeignet sind, das Zusammenleben der Menschen im Rahmen der Europäischen Integration nachhaltig zu verändern. Hiermit soll sich das Seminar beschäftigen, Bilanz ziehen und Perspektiven betrachten.

Der Titel der Veranstaltung lautet deshalb: Was nun, Europa?

Die endgültige Auswahl der zu behandelnden Themen wird aktualitätsbezogen erfolgen. Zur Zeit ist an die Bearbeitung folgender vier Themen gedacht:

  • Europa und der Brexit
