A new €400,000 European project will help teachers create digital learning content for use in the classroom. The project is a collaboration between Learnovate, a global research and innovation centre in the future of work and learning in Trinity College Dublin (TCD), and the TCD School of Education. TD3C (Teacher Digital Content Creation Competencies) is co-funded by Erasmus+, the EU and Léargas, the Irish national agency managing programmes in youth work, education, and training. The project will run from October 2023 to March 2026. The use of digital devices in the classroom has become increasingly common in recent times. However, there has not been significant attention to-date on teachers as creators of their own digital educational content. This is despite teachers being required to play a bigger role in providing accessible digital learning content for students, and content creation for learning becoming a priority for the European Commission under the EU Digital Education Plan. Led by Learnovate and The School of Education in Trinity College Dublin, TD3C brings together schools, universities and research organisations from across Ireland, Portugal, Finland and Italy, to firstly identify the knowledge and skills that enable teachers to create digital learning content in their respective countries, and secondly, to develop a framework to guide teachers' content creation. A small group of teachers across the four countries will be recruited to take part in a small-scale pilot of the framework in February 2025. This will then be followed by recruitment for participants in a much larger trial to start in September 2025, involving 80 teachers and more than 4,000 students. Learnovate and The School of Education in Trinity College Dublin will host a promotion event to mark the end of the project in March 2026. Along with The School of Education and Learnovate in Trinity College Dublin, the partner organisations are: Edmund Rice College Dublin, University of Jyväskylä (JYU) and Konnevesi High School in Finland, Agrupamento de Escolas Gil Paes and NUCLIO in Portugal, and Instituto Comprensivo Toniolo in Italy. While TD3C is in its early stages, researchers expect that competencies identified by the project will include the ability of teachers to pinpoint the learning outcomes they wish to achieve with digital content, and the knowledge of how to tailor their teaching and learning approach accordingly. The TD3C framework will also include guidance on using relevant applications for content creation and modifying off-the-shelf content to suit teachers' needs, as well as guidance on ethical considerations around copyright and fair use. Learnovate Programme Manager Deirdre Green says: "Teachers now have to deal with the increased use of smart and digital devices in the classroom. That means there's an expectation on teachers to come up with innovative digital teaching resources. "The TD3C project is at the core of Learnovate's research expertise. It is a great opportunity to work with the TCD School of Education and our European partners to really examine the current level of use of digital content around Europe, identify the gaps in teacher competencies, and then feed all that into outputs for the pilot programme beginning in February 2025." TCD School of Education and TD3C project lead Keith Johnston says: "TCD School of Education is proud to be working with Learnovate and all our other European project partners on TD3C. Very little work has been done to identify competencies that teachers need to create their own digital content. Similarly, very little has been done to create a framework to guide teachers' efforts. "We are working with teachers to create this framework and the approach is about putting teachers front and centre, acknowledging their role in bringing creativity to the project, and working with teachers to develop a process for content creation. "We're looking forward to the pilot phase and the recruitment of teac...

"Today's 'pro-Europeans' would be horrified at the suggestion that their idea of Europe had anything to do with whiteness. In fact, many would find the attempt to link the two baffling and outrageous," writes Hans Kundnani in Eurowhiteness: Culture, Empire and Race in the European Project (Hurst, 2023). Yet, he does so - taking the reader on a historical journey through the development of European identity from Christendom to the coincidence of the Enlightenment and the development of colonialism to the pan-European movement that grew out of the first world war and peace project (or was it?) that emerged from the second. Not only is pro-Europeanism “analogous to nationalism - something like nationalism but on a larger, continental scale," Kundani argues, but the EU itself has “become a vehicle for imperial amnesia" thereby promoting and privileging “whiteness”. Hans Kundnani is a fellow at the Open Society Foundations Workshop, an associate scholar at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and a visiting scholar at the Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies at The New School for Social Research. From 2018-22, he was a full-time researcher at Chatham House, including as director of the Europe Programme. Before that, he was a researcher at the German Marshall Fund, the Transatlantic Academy, and the European Council on Foreign Relations. In 2014, he published The Paradox of German Power. *The author's own book recommendations are Eurafrica: The Untold History of European Integration and Colonialism by Peo Hansen and Stefan Jonsson (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015) and The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon (Penguin Modern Classics, 2006 - first published in 1956) Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Advisors, who also writes the twenty4two newsletter on Substack and hosts the In The Room podcast series.

It was back in January 2002 that euro coins and banknotes were introduced, and the biggest cash changeover in history took place across 12 EU countries. the story of the Euro actually goes much further back than that. It's intrinsically linked to the very essence of the European Project. In 1946, shortly after the end of World War II, Josef Müller, resistance member, concentration camp survivor and founder of the Bavarian Christian Social Union talked up the benefits of a single currency, saying “countries that share a currency will never be at war”. But how could having a single currency really ensure peace? What have we learned over the last 20 years? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Today is a discussion of COVID-19 in Portugal with João Machado, Inês Navalhas  Tiago Saraiva, & Hugo Soares. João Machado has been a research fellow in History of Science and Technology since 2012, and since 2020, a PhD candidate in History, Philosophy and Heritage of Science and Technology at the NOVA School of Science and Technology. His project is concerned with computing in Portugal in the 1980s, linking the framing of computing as a wider social concern with the new development perspectives opened by the 1974 Democratic Revolution. Inês Navalhas is a PhD candidate in History, Philosophy, and Heritage of Science and Technology at NOVA School of Science and Technology. Her thesis concerns science communication in a portuguese book collection focused on science and technology. Inês is recently working in an European Project called NEWSERA, related to citizen science as a new form of science communication and ENJOI, also an European Project regarding science journalism in Europe. Tiago Saraiva is Associate Professor of History at Drexel University, coeditor with Amy Slaton of the journal History and Technology, and author of Fascist Pigs: Technoscientific Organisms and the History of Fascism (2016). He is currently studying the significance of cloning Californian oranges for the history of racial capitalism in the United States, South Africa, Algeria, Palestine, and Brazil, and completing Moving Crops and the Scales of History, a collective manuscript with multiple co-authors. Hugo Soares is a Ph.D. candidate in History, Philosophy, and Heritage of Science and Technology at the New University of Lisbon. His dissertation project studies the development of the Portuguese Scientific Research System after the 1974 Democratic Revolution and he has also been developing work in Material Culture and Scientific Instruments.

Greetings comrades! The leftie lads turn their gaze to Latin America where the Bolivian victory against fascism may have heralded a new dawn in anti-imperialist government across the continent. A brief spell in which the pair wonder who the American Empire will target next ensues, before the fate of Corbyn is compared to that of Harry Perkins in Chris Mullin's prescient novel of 1982. An Garda Síochána's complicity in the brutal treatment meted out to Palestinians by Israel is examined, the UK's total failure to seize the opportunity provided by the European Project gets a mention, and the question of Russian democracy raises its head once again. Antifa International round things off with the 4th of their annual reports on far-right violence around the globe, after which the chat dissolves into making fun of a certain crackpot running for Mayor of London...

Recently declared a global pandemic, it is undeniable that the coronavirus will be a global political, social, financial and economic crisis - requiring actions that reach far beyond unilateral measures by single states. Within Europe, the virus seems to be calling into question the fundamentality of a shared European solidarity also due to rising dissatisfaction at the lack of a coordinated response. Whilst it is too early to tell, to what extent, it seems more and more certain that this crisis will have long-lasting consequences for the European project and life as we know it. Host Mark Leonard is joined by his fellow home office workers Jana Puglierin, Arturo Varvelli, Jose Ignacio Torreblanca and Pawel Zerka to dissect the European response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This podcast was recorded on 18 March 2020.

Thursday - Panel 1 - The European Project by NUI Galway

Steve Davies is the executive Headteacher of the Sheerness West Federation of schools on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. Steve has taken the lead in a new European project on developing independent learning – partnering with Dutch, Polish, Lithuanian and Portuguese schools. It is called “Freedom Without Chaos”   These pictures are from the 1st transnational conference.

A protest movement in France known as the Gilets Jaunes, or Yellow Vests, has become a political crisis for French President Emmanuel Macron. The protest movement began over a hike in a fuel tax, but has grown into something much more and is now threatening to further weaken Macron, who was already deeply unpopular in France. On the line with me to discuss the origins of this movement and its political significance both in France and throughout Europe is Arthur Goldhammer, a senior affiliate with the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. He is also a translator of French works into english. If you are one of the many people who read Thomas Picketty's book Capitalism in the 20th Century, you read Art Goldhammer's translation.   We kick off discussing the origins of this protest movement, then have a wider discussion about the roots of Macron's unpopularity in France and the implications of his unpopularity for Europe, the European Project and liberal democracy more broadly.    Become a premium subscriber!

As a counterpoint to identity reactionaries and naive Europeanists, a third voice is now making itself heard around the continent. Forward-looking, inclusive and yearning for a shared future, a new generation of European actors are rallying together around a post-fatalistic battle cry, calling for a collective and alternative project built on the foundations of culture. Be they venues, the media, networks or festivals, engaged initiatives are springing up all across Europe. In stark contrast to the pious platitudes and vain political rhetoric about change, these new activists are using creation as a tool to propose new narratives and images of Europe.

Matthew Rojansky is Director of the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC. He is an expert on U.S. relations with the states of the former Soviet Union, and has advised governments, intergovernmental organizations, and major private actors on conflict resolution and efforts to enhance shared security throughout the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian region. Dangerously dysfunctional relations between Washington and Moscow have been blamed by the press, pundits and politicians on the failure of U.S. policymakers to properly “read” Vladimir Putin and thus to predict the Kremlin's supposedly strategic foreign policy agenda. However, rather than attempting to predict Putin's next move or to de-code the meaning behind personnel shuffles at the Kremlin, policymakers and the analysts who support them would do better to pay more attention to Russia in a much broader sense. From the incompatibility of the “European Project” with the worldview of the country's ruling elite, to the geopolitical reality Russia faces as a sprawling multi-ethnic state surrounded by dynamic rising powers, to worsening military tensions between Russia and NATO, there are deeper trends that are likely to shape Russian policy regardless of who is in the top job at the Kremlin. An appropriate U.S. strategy to address these challenges will emphasize not only strength and deterrence, but also adroit risk management, dialogue, and leadership by example. In other words, now is not a time to panic about the predictably unpredictable Russian threat, but rather to keep calm and carry on.

Most UK local authorities have embraced the concept of open data, slowly but surely opening up new data sets. Andy Radford, Transport Planner at Birmingham City Council, had a very different experience. Let him take you back to 2014... "My colleague had masterminded a successful bid for a European Project, Opticities, and then abruptly left the organisation. My task was to open up real-time transport datasets in a matter of months, with very little budget and no background in open data. "What followed did not follow a traditional route – the only goal was to get the data from our internal systems onto the internet as quickly as possible. Once that was done, I entered a world completely unfamiliar to the average local authority transport planner – working in partnership with SME’s, Universities, the ODI etc. "The session will be particularly appropriate for local authority staff, but anyone working with open data or in the transport field should learn something useful. Not everything was a bed of roses - I learned some lessons the hard way, so that you won’t have to. "This talk will tell a heart-warming tale of what can be achieved in the local authority environment with people who are willing to learn and have a can-do attitude." About the speaker Andy Radford has worked as a transport planner at Birmingham City Council for 17 years. In his current role as Principal Infrastructure Delivery Officer, he has responsibility for a number of grant funded transport research and innovation projects, focussed in the field of intelligent mobility.

Europe Out Loud, Episode 2: The European project: leap forward or restoration?

Avec : Manuel Beltrán, Institute of Human Obsolescence, SP Barbara Gessler, Creative Europe, DE Maja Lalić, Mikser House, RS Sonia Triki, programmer of House of Cultures & Social cohesion Molenbeek, BE Modération: Fabien Miclet, Liveurope, FR Une étude commandée par la Fondation allemande TUI a récemment révélé que 76 % des 16-26 ans estiment que le projet européen est avant tout centré sur l’économie. À partir de ce constat, comment ne pas comprendre la désaffection (voire le désintérêt) des jeunes à l’égard du projet européen ? Ayant longtemps privilégié une construction verticale axée sur des traités de libre échange, l’Union Européenne souffre aujourd’hui de ne pas avoir défendu une culture commune et partagée afin de porter un horizon désirable pour sa jeunesse. Celle que l’on appelle Génération Erasmus est par essence mobile, connectée et ne connaît pas de frontières : reste à consolider un imaginaire collectif fort pour l’ensemble des citoyens européens. La culture peut et doit porter ce projet. Crédit photo : Brice Robert

With an audience of over 180 million viewers each year, the Eurovision Song contest is one of the longest running and most watched television events in the world. Since its inception in 1956 it has been used as a vehicle to unite Europe, but throughout its history Eurovision has also highlighted deep divisions in the European project. With this year’s theme ‘celebrate diversity’, politics threatens to loom larger than ever. Will Brexit mean ‘nul points’ for the United Kingdom? Will tensions between Russia and this year’s host country, the Ukraine, derail the contest? Has Eurovision contributed to the rise of populism? Why exactly is Australia competing? Anika Gauja and Julia Zemiro take us behind the glitter and glamour to reveal what Eurovision can teach us about identity, power and conflict in Europe today.

Europe is in crisis. The euro, too, is going through a turbulent phase. But are those who are predicting the end of the "European Project" simply being pessimistic? Let's analyse a discussion on the matter. C'est parti!

On 26 January 2021, Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Europe fit for the Digital Age, and Commissioner for Competition, gave a press conference on State aid rules, a second Important Project of Common European Interest (“IPCEI”) to support research and innovation in the battery value chain. The project, called “European Battery Innovation” was jointly prepared and notified by Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden.The twelve Member States will provide up to €2.9 billion in funding in the coming years. The public funding is expected to unlock an additional €9 billion in private investments, i.e. more than three times the public support. The project complements the first IPCEI in the battery value chain that the Commission approved in December 2019.
