Experience EU – Education, People-to-People and Alumni Work in the United States

Experience EU aims at strengthening the bonds between the citizens of the United States and the European Union through education outreach, people-to-people (P2P) programming and exchange, and alumni activities. The project will organise activities for US students, teachers, and targeted professionals to 1) support their learning and teaching about the EU; 2) foster dialogue, creativity, mutual understanding, and cooperation; and 3) create lasting personal transatlantic connections and shared values. The activities will provide opportunities for the target audiences to experience the EU by creating direct contacts with EU representatives, experts, and citizens. The project will consist of the following work strands: • Euro Challenge • Schuman Challenge • EU-US Emerging Leaders Visitors Programme • Alumni engagement • Model EU • Teaching the EU • EU Studies Seminar • Transatlantic P2P Seminar • Presence at relevant US conferences • Communication, promotion and outreach
