Making European Policy Popular through Challenge, Learning, Innovation, Cooperation: An experiment on the Landscape Convention
Start date: Jan 1, 2013,
E-CLIC aims to bring European policy making closer to European citizens by helping schools, universities and communities to engage in a dialogue about these policies and how they influence people’s lives. The European Landscape Convention is taken as an example, linked directly to local development issues while affecting the environment and quality of life of all Europeans. A CLIC competition will be launched in six EU countries, inviting secondary school and university students as well as adults to respond to a number of challenges posed by the ELC, work out solutions that are innovative, based on cooperation with their communities. A pool of IT-based resources will be created by the project for wide and easy access, to facilitate contestants, matched by an information database related to ELC and the “challenges” facing the European landscapes. The ten best competition entries will be presented in a conference in each participating country and the 3 national winners will be invited to an international conference where the 3 European winners will be selected. A learning package will be produced utilising as examples the winning entries of the competition, to be available for schools, universities, adult education centres and environmental NGOs. The learning package will be piloted and a multilingual user-Handbook will be produced to accompany it. Dissemination of the project results will be extended beyond the partners’ countries by the three participating European NGOs – ECLAS, Pan-Parks and Euracademy. An interactive platform and online community will help to disseminate the competitions and conferences and to promote the learning package, while popularising the ELC and building the legacy of the project. A wide-ranging partnership led by the University of Life Sciences in Estonia and including 9 partners from 7 countries brings together universities, research institutes, European Associations, training centres and schools committed to achieving the project’s aims.
