Donor: British Embassy Belgrade
Duration of the project: July – September 2008
The purpose of the EU Online project was alleviating ignorance and misunderstanding of the EU, informing young people about the benefits of EU membership and potentially reducing emerging anti-European attitudes. BCHR has opened a special portal on its web page containing basic information about the EU (entitled “EU in 800 words”). Based on the evaluations from the EU related seminars and public debates held in many high schools in Serbia, Centre has chosen to offer brief articles about the history of EU integration, institutions, way of functioning, etc.
Brief, clear and easy to find information is the most efficient way of transmitting the contents and knowledge and one of the ways to support the idea of Serbia’s integration into EU.
In order to counter misunderstanding and emerging anti-European attitudes among youth as well as to explain the benefits of being EU member state, focus on the portal was placed on what seams to be the most interesting and important to achieve this aim and to young people: special programs and possibilities for youth within the EU in the area of education and visiting European countries as well as good practices in the EU member states in youth field.
