IUC-Europe

IUC-Europe International Education Centre is a European network organisation, partly funded by the Danish Ministry of Education, with its main office in Svendborg and a local office in Copenhagen. IUC works with Danish and international long-term projects in the fields of teaching/learning, non-formal (political) education, citizenship and integration, employment and study trips.

IUC is Denmark´s only Europe House and a founding member of EUNET (European Network for Education and Training). Also, IUC is a member of a number of international networks including DARE and The Model European Parliament Baltic Sea Region organisation, where we act as administrative coordinator for 10 countries. All our projects/activities are described on our website.

A core activity is our work with young people, originating in Youth 2002, one of Europe´s biggest youth projects with 1000 European participants from 33 countries, who came to DK to write a youth constitution. A number of projects: Youth 2003, The Vision 5 Team, Europe4You, Youth 2005, Brandbjerg Waves of Democracy e.g. have continued this line of work focusing on educating young Europeans to become international navigators.

We take our starting-point in the common Nordic values: equality, trust, low power distance, flexibility, sustainability and a non-authoritative approach to teaching/learning but in close cooperation, dialogue and development with partners/colleagues/organisations all over Europe and in the US. We implement our projects/activities nationally as well as internationally with a strong focus on crossborder cooperation.

Global Citizen

Global Citizen is a fact-based online platform for solutions without borders.

We are convinced that new networks together with profound, to-the-point knowledge, overview and sense of proportion are prerequisites for the solutions we need to generate in the 21st Century.

Modern media and traditional dissemination of scientific insights fall short in providing operational knowledge, broad networks and practical solutions. Thus, Global Citizen tries to find new ways of sharing knowledge, building networks and generating solutions.

Global Citizen will be based on a global network of editors (college and university students from all sorts of fields), who will update the content and gather information for the different sections, guided by experts and professionals. If you are interested in joining the team, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
