Interventions in educational establishments

The Académie team organises talks on the EU, how it works and its policies in educational establishments.

For schools, colleges and sixth-form colleges, the interventions are co-organised with the young Europeans. Members of the Académie’s annual course are invited to co-facilitate sessions alongside the Académie’s teams and the young Europeans, in order to become multipliers.

The interventions in higher education establishments are debates on a topical theme and are facilitated by researchers from the Jacques Delors Institute.

Europe Day

Every year, the team from the Académie Notre Europe attends the Fête de l’Europe organised by the Paris City Council with a stand to publicise its activities and talk to citizens about the EU, how it works and its policies.

Training of multipliers

In 2024, the Académie Notre Europe organised eight short hybrid training courses for multipliers, namely: journalists, teachers, managers/employees/volunteers of associations, CSR managers of companies and local and regional government officials. The content of these training courses was created and facilitated by researchers from the Jacques Delors Institute in order to guarantee the quality of the content and the discussions. The aim of these training courses for multipliers is to equip them so that they can, in turn, inform and raise awareness among citizens in their networks.

Europe through theatre

In order to reach young people who are unfamiliar with European issues, in 2023 the Académie led a project to create a play about European action on ecological transition. The play, entitled ‘En vert et avec tous’ (Green and Together), was written and performed by young people from the Académie in collaboration with Julien Avril and was staged at the 2023 Jacques Delors Conference. In 2025, the exercise was repeated, this time on the theme of Jacques Delors’ European legacy, as part of the centenary of his birth (1925-2025).
