COPE session - European Studies teachers

Abstract

The European Studies secondary school teachers held their COPE (Community of Professional Educators) session at the University of Malta. This session was tailored for European Studies secondary school educators, with the primary aim of laying the groundwork for collaborative initiatives in the upcoming academic year. Challenges being faced in the teaching of European Studies at secondary level were identified, together with possible solutions to make European Studies a more attractive subject option as well as to make the subject more relevant and link it better to European Studies at University level. The session also examined the transformative potential of rehabilitation, drawing on practical insights from the Rescaled Movement - an EU-based initiative in which Malta plays an active role. The meeting was also attended by JEF officer Andrea Pisani, the CEO of SEM Rodrick Zerafa and SEM's Head of Policy Charlene Caruana.
