When students tell us about Europe

The 2nd edition of the Jean Monnet Joint Interdisciplinary Module on “Europe in Crisis in a Globalized World” closed on Thursday, December 6, 2018 with a large gathering of all the students who attended the course. Some 200 students from 11 Master’s courses from the Universities of Nantes, Angers, Le Mans and Bologna in Italy (distance learning) were gathered at the Faculty of Law of the University of Angers.

Course Calendar

The students had to choose between three sub-themes ("Questioning the European idea", "Entering or leaving the Union: what are the stakes for Europe?, and "Europe, a land of exile and migration"), each one declined in 10 pedagogical sequences (video capsules and multiple choice questions) available on the Extradoc online platform. Once formed into groups, they elaborated their own productions on a subject and a format of their choice. In each Master, the students evaluated the productions of all the groups and chose a work that was presented on Thursday.

A total of 11 productions (1 per master) were submitted to a jury composed of our civil society partners:

- Laurence AUBRON, Founder and co-director of Euradio France

- Bruno GOURDON, International Relations Officer for the city of Angers

- Albrecht SONNTAG, Professor at the EU Asia Institute, ESSCA

- Sandie LE MOAL, Project Manager, Pays de la Loire Regional Council

- Jean-Marc MINIER, President of the Maison de l'Europe in Angers

4 awards were presented to the groups listed below. The students should not be judged according to their level of expertise on the complex concepts they dealt with, which often call for multiple skills and disciplines.

This meeting was organized by Alliance Europa and 4 students of the Master IPEI within as part of a tutored project: Léa ENON-BARON, Laure GUEDON, Paul FLAMENT and Tiffen RIOU.
