W1: Teaching and Learning Europe

In line with the first research pillar of the LEAP which explores educational aspect of the EU integration and aims to unfold complexities and challenges of teaching and learning the EU at ‘the periphery’, a two-day workshop in March 2020 was organised by the IFNUL. Due to the emergence of the global pandemic, the event has been postponed to a future date twice. However, as it had become clear that it would be hard for the foreseeable future to bring large numbers of students and academics together, we organised the first LEAP workshop online. It brought together during two days more than 40 people from 25 universities and other organizations of 12 states (Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Israel, Italy, Kosovo*, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine), academics and experts in various fields, involved in European Union Studies and willing to discuss the state of the field in their respective countries and share their personal experience. The workshop also served to assess presented papers for the forthcoming special issue. The event included two Keynote speakers representing two Jean Monnet Networks were invited to offer their perspectives on the development of EU Studies in Eastern Europe and South Caucasus: Gabriela Pascariu from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi (Romania) and Andrey Makarychev, from the University of Tartu (Estonia). Gabriela Pascariu highlighted main accomplishments and challenges of Jean Monnet Network: European Union and its neighbourhood. Network for enhancing EU’s actorness in the eastern borderlands (2017-2020). Andrey Makarychev reported on the European Studies and EU's Post-liberal Governmentality, reflecting on the outcomes of Jean Monnet Network for Developing European Studies in the Caucasus (2015-2018). For the Keynote Speech, please go to LEAP Project YouTube Channel.
