Schools Beyond Regions and Borders

About us

Active citizenship for tomorrow’s Europe

Schools beyond regions and borders is designed to help high school students develop civic awareness and active citizenship skills, empowering them to become change-makers in their communities and across Europe. The project also fosters a sense of belonging to the wider European community, encouraging young people to contribute to a more inclusive and imaginative Europe.

The initiative brings together educators and students from diverse cultural, professional, and linguistic backgrounds. Together, they have created high-quality, creative educational resources and a platform to share knowledge and experiences. These tools help young people understand issues that affect them as European and global citizens.

What makes this project unique is its focus on meaningful multicultural encounters, interactive learning, and participatory projects in linguistically diverse settings—going beyond local or national boundaries to offer a truly European perspective.
