===EU Citizenship Awareness=== | |||
Extending EU Citizenship to the Eastern End of Europe. This project responds to the strong need for EU citizenship awareness, especially in the new member states. Although most activities focus on the Cyprus reality, the tools and methodologies will be tested and disseminated in Denmark, Belgium, as well as in the Southern Eastern end of Europe (Turkey, Palestine, Lebanon). The proposed awareness activities make use of printed and electronic (distributed to relevant bodies as well as to the wide public), workshops (offered to special target groups), panel discussions (for the public) and live Radio/TV programs. The need for relevant, accurate, immediate and easy-to-access information is satisfies using an innovative communication tool, an automated call-answer centre (ACC). The ACC will respond on an easy-to-remember, widely publicized toll-free telephone number. It will offer a tree-structured number of layered responses. An advanced version will allow the immediate sending of files to the caller’s fax. Training will be delivered to specialized groups such as: lawyers, consular officers, teachers, activists, school counselors etc. Curriculum units for high schools focusing on selected fundamental human rights will be developed and will be submitted to the Ministry of Education for inclusion in their regular curriculum. | |||
