Summary of Action
This project aims to use the controversial free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur as a professional lever to inform and engage Danish students and teachers in relation to the topics of the EU, trade policy, and global development.
We develop a number of engaging and innovative teaching materials on the subject for the subjects of Spanish and social studies in Danish upper secondary education and test and evaluate these with students. The materials can be implemented directly in teaching and will be promoted through an ambitious anchoring effort.
The project functions as a platform for actors in the Global South, who are included as authentic voices in the teaching materials.
