Laboratorio Europa^® (“Europe Workshop”) is the sole structure, throughout the European Union, created with the aim of informing, making primary, intermediate and high school students aware of and leading them through the discovery of Europe.

The hub around which all the Laboratorio Europa^®’s activities spin is a purposely set and arranged workshop that hosts exposition paths, audio-visual supports and multimedia tools where the pupils can participate in interactive activities, role games, debates, in order to learn about Europe in a informal way.

A team of experts is available for the following activities:

·          visits to Laboratorio Europa^®;

·          meetings and seminars dedicated to the issues of the European integration and policies;

·          European projects of exchange between schools;

·          training seminars for teachers and local administrations;

·          follow-up classes, addressed to those teachers and educational operators in search of up-dated information and material.
