Europamobil 2023

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: Europamobil 2023

We are looking for our new Europamobil Team 2023!

Europamobil offers an exciting European experience for pupils and students. Each year in September, a group of 20 students from different European countries visits schools in a European region in Germany, Poland or France by bus, the famous Europamobil, to run workshops on European issues.

In 2023 Europamobil will be on tour in the French border region of Grand Est around Strasburg.

Europamobil aims to enhance students' commitment to the European Union and pupils' interest in European affairs by making Europe tangible. Moreover, Europamobil informs pupils about mobility opportunities in Europe. Through their cooperation in the context of Europamobil, students and pupils get to know their neighbouring countries and their people better. It is a way to increase their motivation to become active European citizens and to produce critical enthusiasm for the European idea.
Europamobil offers practical experience in teaching and in workshop presentations in an international environment. All participants may enrich their knowledge about European issues by participating in discussions with invited experts. Europamobil also gives an opportunity to build an international network and to reinforce intercultural skills.

The edition in brief (11.09. - 06.10.2023)

In addition to the workshops, European associations will inform pupils about opportunities to become mobile in Europe at an information fair in each school.
