The module will be delivered by Fractal and hosted by Youth Initiative Mitrovica. This 12-month activity will particularly focus on increasing awareness among students on the topics of EU integration and regional cooperation. The activity has three components, namely:

-interactive lectures;
-academic writing (essays, analyses, case studies, research work, critical thinking);
-a study visit for the 10 best participants to Amsterdam and Brussels.

The lectures will be organized every consecutive Saturday in two cycles of 10 weeks each (a total of 20 working days). The first cycle will probably be organized from April until June. The second cycle runs probably from October until December. In this period, 4 modules covering 4 different major topics related to EU integration will be offered to a group of 25 selected students. These topics are:

∙ Introduction to EU Institutions, Law, and Procedures;
∙ EU Economics;
∙ EU Policy Toward the Western Balkans;
∙ EU Society, Culture, and Identities.

In each cycle additional training will be provided on:
- critical thinking
- academic reading and writing
- presentation skills
- cv writing and job interview training

At the end of the entire programme, each participant writes a 10-page essay. The ten best students will go on a study visit to Amsterdam (Academic Institutions) and Brussels (EU institutions: parliament and commission). The results of the study visit will be presented in the media.
All students who have successfully finalized the module will receive an official ECTS-compatible certificate.
