European culture: a contribution for a New Narrative of Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The European Culture:A Contribution for a New Narrative of Europe is a cultural and educational research project which seeks to address a specific problem: the virtual absence of modern European culture in the school curricula at non-university levels of education in the region of Galicia.A lack which contributes to the spread of nationalist and populist narratives which conceive Europe, identified by the EU, as the origin of economic, political and social problems; and, even worse, as a hurdle to be overcome. In order to build a “Europe of values”, with freedom and human dignity as original benchmarks,it is necessary to introduce conceptual, procedural and attitudinal contents on European culture among the next generations, this will contribute to support the sense of belonging to a community of shared values.Our objectives are to arouse interest in the knowledge and development of European culture among the non-university educational community, as an underlying support for a stronger European integration, including students who have some degree of deafness; to revive the role of people over 55 as invigorating agents of that European culture, providing their experience and their educational socialisation function towards the new generations; and to involve university academia in research with the opportunity to deepen in the founding principles of the European spirit as established by pioneers of the last century’s middle years.We have designed four teaching activities targeted to non-university teaching staff in training, three research activities: two educational ones and one focused on cultural history, nine events which cover one of the three objectives set and twenty-two deliverables with their corresponding lesson plans for Primary and Secondary education.With this project, we would like to contribute to the debate on the need to promote a new narrative of Europe that will highlight the cultural elements that have been shaping the spirit of European citizens
