Communicating Europe through Learning by Teaching the Teachers and University Students
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019 PROJECT  FINISHED 

CELTTUS aims to educate, inform and further enhance the public’s awareness and knowledge of the European Union in Northern Ireland. Levels of awareness of the EU in Northern Ireland are very low, particularly among 16-25 years old. This project helps bridge that gap with its five core objectives:1. to firmly anchor EU studies in the university curriculum; 2. to introduce a new module on the EU designed for those students studying science, engineering and management degrees which is constructed around 14 lectures, 6 seminars and minimum 10 tutorials (for a group of 12) . It will run for 3 years. ; 3. to bring the EU to a new audience of 16-18 years olds studying politics for ‘A’ level; 4. to link teaching and research on EU regulation by analysing EU competition policy and 5. to help establish Queen’s university’s reputation as an authority on the EU for all sections of Northern Irish society.The project envisages a specifically tailored module that informs students of ‘science’ about the EU, links it directly to their programme of study but offers new skill in terms of writing policy briefs, presenting oral reports and encouraging Erasmus exchanges. CELTTUS will address younger students and their teachers by further extending a bridge to teachers of ‘A’ level Politics across Northern Ireland, providing training and engaging directly with school teachers and their representative organisations. The project will design and deliver a series of dedicated workshops that cater directly to the needs of teachers of the new ‘A’ level syllabus in Northern Ireland. A number of workshops will be provided across Northern Ireland, allowing teachers to learn from their peers, and to identify innovative pedagogical tools and techniques. The workshops will be supported by an online resource pack which further develops and updates themes A dedicated web-site will facilitate longer term engagement, peer support and further discussion among teachers and students.
