OpenCoesione School: the project

OpenCoesione School (ASOC) is an

innovative interdisciplinary educational project

aimed at high school students. By working on

a storytelling research based on cohesion

projects, they experience how cohesion policy

affects their own neighbourhoods.

METHOD

● Online MOOC with support materials and community

● Distance learning for teachers

● Territorial networks of experts on cohesion policy

thematic areas or transversal issues

OBJECTIVES

● Promote the principles of aware citizenship

● Encourage responsible use of ICT, including open

data, and social media

● Foster civic monitoring of public funding
